How to Make Oat Bran Health Bread

  1. In your bread machine pan, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, 2 tablespoons canola oil, and 2 tablespoons honey.
  2. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast.
  3. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes until creamy.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup oat bran, 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup bread flour, 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, 2 tablespoons wheat gluten, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the bread machine pan with the wet ingredients.
  6. Select the 'whole wheat' or equivalent setting on your bread machine.
  7. Press start and let the machine do its work.
  8. Once the first rise is complete, carefully remove the dough from the bread machine and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  9. Gently shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  10. Let the loaf rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
