How to Make Whole Wheat Oatmeal Buttermilk Bread
- Fit a kneader blade onto a heavy-duty stand mixer.
- Proof 1 tablespoon (21g) active dry yeast in 3/4 cup (177ml) warm water (105-115°F) with 1 teaspoon (4g) granulated sugar for 8-10 minutes, or until foamy.
- In a large stainless steel mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) whole wheat bread flour, 2 cups (250g) all-purpose white bread flour (or substitute with 4 cups (500g) bread flour if using US flour), and 1 cup (85g) rolled oats.
- Mix lightly with a spoon to combine.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, gently warm 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons (36g) granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt for about 40 seconds, or until warm. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Once the yeast is proofed, add it to the bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda. Begin mixing/kneading with the mixer, adding more all-purpose white flour as needed to create a soft, slightly sticky dough. (If using only bread flour, you may need to add additional flour.)
- Knead the dough with the mixer for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Gently knead the dough for about 15 seconds by hand.
- Generously grease a large bowl with oil (about 1 tablespoon).
- Place the dough in the prepared bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently remove the dough from the bowl and punch it down to release the air.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately 14x8 inches.
- Roll up the dough tightly, tucking the ends underneath. Place the dough into a greased 8x4-inch loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf pan with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
