Description

This Whole Wheat Grain Oat Bread is a robust, nutritious loaf that combines the earthy depth of whole wheat flour with the chewy texture of rolled oats and mixed grains. Sweetened with molasses or honey, it offers a warm, comforting flavor profile perfect for toast, sandwiches, or alongside soups. The addition of vital gluten ensures a good rise and satisfying bite, while nonfat dry milk powder adds a subtle richness. Ideal for health-conscious bakers seeking a hearty, homemade alternative to store-bought bread, this recipe yields a dense, flavorful loaf that freezes well and tastes best fresh from the oven.

Ingredients

1 1/8 cup Water, at 105-110 degrees F
1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
2 tablespoon Molasses or honey
1 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
1/2 cup White flour
1/2 cup Rolled oats
3/4 cup Grain cereal
1/4 cup Nonfat dried milk powder
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoon Gluten
2 teaspoon Yeast

Directions

1
If using a bread machine, add ingredients to the pan in the order specified by your manufacturer (usually liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast last).
2
Select the "Whole Wheat" cycle and start the machine. Allow the baking process to complete fully.
3
If baking in the oven, select the "Dough" cycle on your bread machine and let it run until the dough has risen and been punched down.
4
Remove the dough from the machine, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and punch it down to release air bubbles.
5
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5 inch bread pan.
6
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
7
Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
8
Bake the loaf for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9
Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Note

Grain Cereal Substitution: You can substitute 7-grain cereal with 8-grain, 9-grain, 12-grain, or any multi-grain cereal mix available at your grocery store. Look for bins with bulk grains and flours for variety.

Optional Add-in: For added texture and nutrition, fold in 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds, flax seeds, or sesame seeds before shaping the loaf.

Storage: Store cooled bread in a paper bag or bread box at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Slice before freezing for easy toasting.

Yeast Check: Ensure your yeast is fresh. If using active dry yeast, dissolve it in the warm water with a pinch of sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy before adding other ingredients.
