Instructions:
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy. This step is crucial as it activates the yeast.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and salt. Mix well.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the yeast mixture, remaining honey or syrup, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as you go. Kneading helps develop the gluten, which will give your bread a nice texture.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased bread pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally, sprinkle the top of the loaf with seeds or nuts. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool before slicing. Enjoy a warm slice with your favorite spread or topping.
This bread is not only a delightful start to your day but also a healthy one, providing sustained energy and nourishment. Enjoy the process of making it and the delicious results!
