How to Make 60 Minute Oatmeal Nut Bread

1. In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, pecans, salt, and yeast.
2. In a small saucepan, combine warm milk, warm water, orange zest, orange juice, honey, and melted butter. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (around 105-115°F).
3. Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Gradually add reserved flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
6. Roll the dough into a 13x9-inch rectangle.
7. Tightly roll up the dough from the short side, like a jelly roll.
8. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
9. Place the dough seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
10. Gently flatten the dough into an oval shape.
11. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
12. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until doubled in size. (Alternatively, place the baking sheet over a large pan of hot water to create a humid environment for rising).
13. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
14. Make 3 diagonal slashes across the top of the loaf.
15. Brush the loaf with beaten egg.
16. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
17. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
18. While the bread is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of milk to make a glaze. Add more milk, if needed, to reach your desired consistency.
19. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
