How to Make Oatmeal Walnut Bread

  1. Combine all ingredients (except walnuts) in your bread machine pan in the order listed in the ingredients section below.
  2. Select the dough setting on your bread machine.
  3. During the last 5 minutes of kneading, add the chopped walnuts to the bread machine.
  4. Once the dough cycle is complete, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. Gently punch down the dough to release any trapped air bubbles.
  6. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel.
  7. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has almost doubled in size and springs back slowly when gently poked (about 60-90 minutes).
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. While the oven is preheating, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the risen loaf and sprinkle generously with rolled oats.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The loaf should be a deep golden brown.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
