How to Make 3 Minute Whole Wheat Bread

  1. In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast in 1 cup (240ml) of warm milk (105-115°F).
  2. Add 1 cup (120g) whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/2 cup (60g) rolled oats. Stir well until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Pour the dough into a greased 5x9 inch loaf pan.
  4. Place the loaf pan into a COLD oven. Turn the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  5. DO NOT let the dough rise before baking; the cold oven start is key to this recipe's magic.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully cut a slit in the top of the dough to prevent cracking.
  7. After 40 minutes of baking, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter or an egg wash for a beautiful golden crust.
  8. After 60 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 50 minutes.
  9. Remove the bread from the pan and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
