Brian's Honey Wheat Oatmeal Bread
There is NOTHING better than the weekend mornings when my husband makes his famous honey wheat oatmeal bread. We drizzle the fresh-out-of-the-oven bread with local honey. This is the ultimate morning comfort food.
Yields 2 loaves
Preheat oven to 375°. Combine honey and brown sugar with warm water and wait 5 minutes.
Combine all ingredients, knead for about 7 minutes or until dough is no longer wet but smooth. Let bread rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour), punch down and shape into loaves. Let bread double in size again (about 30 minutes).
Bake until crusty and brown on top; about 35 minutes.
