Honey Oatmeal Bread I

Added 1/4 – 1/2 C bread flour, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds

I let the machine do most of the work, did need extra flour and I added gluten as suggested. I also had to add extra flour after 1st rise, just a tablespoon or two and gave it an extra minute of kneading. It was very good, tender and flavorful. I baked in oven 350′ for 40 min.

The best honey oatmeal bread I have ever had. It just melts in your mouth

Delicious! Hearty and flavorful, without the sweet that some whole wheat breads have. I used all whole wheat flour. I subbed almond milk and oil, since I don’t do dairy, and added 1/4 c. flour, flaxmeal and sunflower seeds. I might try adding some herbs or garlic next time. BTW, 1/4 oz. yeast is one package (2 1/4 tsp.).

This recipie did not turn out for me. I used the wheat setting on my bread machine. The loaf fell in the middle and the crust was pretty hard. I was disappointed.

I’ve been making this for months now – it’s soft but not gummy and very tasty. Our go-to sandwich bread. One nitpick – the way the yeast ingredient is written is confusing – is it a quarter of a package, with the package being .25 ounces? If so, I have been using far more yeast – a full package worth. My neighbor claims this recipe didn’t rise for her and perhaps it’s because I’m adding more yeast. I also add 3 tsp wheat gluten.

This bread has good flavor but a few adjustments were needed. I had to add 1/4 cup extra flour and I increased the yeast to 2 tsp since the amount called for was too little and others said theirs came out too dense. It is a great bread but needed a little help.

Yummy! I have really enjoyed this bread. I am new to making bread in my machine- so I not going to be able to give too much a technical review. My mother was wary of the small amount of yeast called for in this recipe, so we used a half of a packet of yeast, and proofed it with half of the water and a dollop of the honey. It worked well! The bread has a dense consistency, and is a good hearty breakfast food. Perfect for cheese toast!! You don’t specifically notice the oatmeal or the wheat germ. This is a winner!!!!

I thought this recipe was fantastic. I did add a few heaping TBSP’s of flax seed meal and some vital wheat gluten.. This seems to give me moister and fluffier loaves. Very happy with this recipe and will make again! Thanks!

This is a thick, dense loaf! I needed to add some extra flour to make the consistency right. I’ll be making this again!

This bread is wonderful a great crunchy bread. I made it just like the recipe. Today I am going to add a few pumpkin seeds. Very healthful. My family loved it,great for toast and sandwiches.

I attempted to make this recipe recently, and it did not rise. And it was really heavy and not appealing to eat at all. I’m not sure what I could have done wrong, but I followed the recipe exactly.

I don’t have a bread machine. Worried about the “dense and chewy” comments, I used 1 Tbls yeast. I scaled the milk with the butter, honey and salt and let cool. I dissolved the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water, then added the remaining ingredients and beat about 20 strokes. I then added the recommended 1/2 cup flour, I used white to make it fluffier. Kneeded until smooth and elastic, let rise for 1 and a half hours until triple, beat down and let rest for 5 mins and formed into a loaf. I put it into a buttered loaf pan, and let rise again for another hour or so, until double again. Baked at 350 degrees for about an hour. Lovely, dark brown crust. Slightly sweet, only a little chewy, but very airy. Will make fabulous toast for breakfast.

This bread has a wonderful texture and a great taste when I use ground flax seed in place of the wheat germ. I used the extra 1/4 cup of bread flours too. My bread keeps falling though and I don’t know how to fix the recipe. It’s very frustrating!

chewy

It didn’t really rise. The flavor is okay though.

Didn’t rise enough, I was skeptical about the small amount of yeast called for and should have added a little more.

It is ok, missing something??? I did add 1/4 c flour and used 1 T yeast, bread machine on dough cycle and made rolls then, 12, 350 12 minutes. I even added 1 t salt, still missing something, but ok

I made a dozen rolls in a muffin tin. They turned out great! Yummy flavor, healthy, not too dense. They even warmed up nicely the next day.

I really liked the texture, I added a 1/4 cup of flour per the other suggestions. I set my bread machine on whole wheat setting and chose a medium color, should have chose dark as it seemed slightly underdone. It is great toast with butter and jam! Thanks!
