Honey Oat Bread Recipe

Honey Oat Bread Recipe

  
Soft & Sweet Honey Oat Bread. Honey Oat Bread is one of my favorite bread recipes! The oats give it a great texture and the honey the best flavor! As always the best part is the aroma of freshly baked bread all throughout the house!


Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour I used half whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cups oats either instant or old fashioned
  • 1 TBSP instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup  lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1-2 TBSP dough enhancers if desired

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons honey warmed
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons oats

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, oats, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, or a two cup measuring cup, warm the milk so that it’s hot enough to melt the butter, but not boiling. Add the butter, stirring until melted, then stir in the water and honey.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, mixing with a dough hook until it just comes together to form a dough. Knead in the mixer, with the dough hook attachment, for 7-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic (if you’re making this recipe by hand, the dough will be very sticky at first; flour your hands and work surface generously and be patient). If the dough is still very wet and sticky after 5 minutes of kneading, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is barely tacky. If the dough is too dry, add water, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) at a time, to soften it up.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled, about 1/2 to 1 hour.
  5. Once doubled, place the dough on a clean, dry work surface. If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour the surface before continuing. With your fingers, flatten the dough into a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Tightly roll the dough, tucking the ends as needed, into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a 9×5-inch loaf pan and brush the top with the warmed honey and sprinkle with the oats. Allow loaf to rise in a slightly warm location until doubled, about 1/2 hour. (It's winter so I find my bread rises best in the oven-  I turn the oven on 350 for a minute or two, then turn it off. Place loaf on the oven rack with the light on. You can see my set-up in the picture below.)
  6. When dough has doubled, preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C). (I just leave the dough in the oven while preheating.) Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the bread is deep golden brown and the internal temperature is about 190 degrees. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.
Homemade Hawaiian Bread Recipe

Homemade Hawaiian Bread Recipe

  
Hawaiian Bread made fresh with butter, eggs, flour, pineapple juice, ginger and vanilla. Simple, flavorful Hawaiian Bread recipe you can enjoy at home!


Ingredients

  • 6 cups flour + 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 pkg. yeast 1 1/2 TBSP
  • 1 stick butter 1/2 cup, melted

Instructions

  1. Beat eggs, add pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla and melted butter. Stir until combined.
  2. Place 3 cups of flour in stand mixer (I use a Bosch). Add the egg mixture and mix until well combined. Sprinkle in the yeast and mix well.
  3. Add the other 3 cups of flour and mix on low speed for about 2-3 minutes. If the dough is still sticking to the sides of the mixer, add another 1/2 cup flour and continue to mix. If the dough is still sticky add another 1/2 cup. I've never had to use more than 7 cups of flour for this bread, but it definitely depends on altitude, etc. so if you have to add a little more, it'll be fine! The dough should still be sticky to the touch, but not sticking to the sides of the mixer.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with cloth in a warm place. Let rise for 1 hour.
  5. Divide the dough into three equal parts, shape into balls, and then place in greased round cake pans. Cover with cloth and let the dough rise for about another hour.
  6. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. As with any bread, it tastes the best straight out of the oven with melted butter.

Hair Colors Ideas for This Fall

Hair Colors Ideas for This Fall

  
Fall is officially here and rather than stick to your same old hair color for another season, mix it up with one of the five ridiculously pretty fall hair colors we've seen popping up on celebs and models in the last few weeks. From raven black to creamy blonde, these shades are the perfect complement to the season.

Fall Hair Color Ideas Creamy Blonde


Creamy blonde hair like Reese Witherspoon's has been spiking on our social feeds this month, and for good reason: The milky blend of platinum and blonde is the perfect transitional shade for any bleach-blondes looking to go a bit darker for fall, without having to deal with a huge contrast shock. See more celebrities rock the look, ahead.



Fall Hair Color Ideas Bronde


While bronde was a serious contender for the most-talked-about hue of last year, this low-maintenance blend of blonde and brunette colors, like Jessica Alba's, is still going strong for fall, mostly because of its magical ability to add warmth to even the most-pale of skin tones instantaneously. See more celebrities rock the look, ahead.




Fall Hair Color Ideas Caramel Highlights


If your dark hair is in need of a re-vamp this fall, look to warm, molasses-hued highlights, à la Selena Gomez and Beyoncé, which immediately add dimension and brightness to wavy hair. See more celebrities rock the look, ahead.

EASY HOMEMADE BREAD RECIPE

EASY HOMEMADE BREAD RECIPE

  
Easy Bread recipe  made with simple ingredients & detailed instructions showing how to make bread! Best homemade bread recipe for both beginners and expert bakers.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5-6 cups flour - You can use all-purpose flour OR bread flour!

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the 1 TBSP of the sugar in warm water and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix remaining sugar, salt and oil into the yeast. Mix in flour one cup at a time. Dough should be tacky and clean the sides of the bowl save for a small part at the bottom. Too much flour added in yields a dry loaf of bread, so if you're worried you added too much, add a bit more hot water, until you get the correct consistency.
  3. Knead dough for 7 minutes. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  4. Punch dough down. Knead for 1 minute and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place into two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30-40 minutes. Cool, brush with butter
