How to Make Ann's Heavenly Whole Wheat Oatmeal Bread
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine hot water, brown sugar (or honey), salt, and oil (or melted butter).
- Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add it to the hot water mixture. Stir to combine.
- Add the whole wheat flour and rolled oats to the wet ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until slightly smoother. The dough will remain somewhat sticky.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
- Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf into a prepared pan.
- Cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
