1. combine 1 cup boiling water, oats, honey and salt in and stir in a large bowl.
2. Combine yeast and 1/4 cup warm water stir until dissolved.
3. Add all ingredients and knead until dough is sticky. Then 5 minutes more until dough is smooth.
4. Spray loaf pan with Pam and set the dough in the pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for 45 more minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 425
6. Bake in hot oven for 25 -30 minutes.

Post by: cloudsoup on February 04, 2011, 11:32:53 pm: mmm! i had an aunt who used to make homemade
bread all the time and it was SCRUMPTIOUS.

my fiance and i have talked about making our own,
but haven't yet. we decided to try wheat bread a few
years ago, and never went back to white! it has such
a rich flavor, nice texture, tastes like actual food.
to me, that's way more value for the money...

how long does homemade bread keep? the only thing
is that i'm afraid we wouldn't use it up before it goes
bad, because we've bought those deli type breads that
have no preservatives, and we can't eat it all by the
time it starts turning...
