DESCRIPTION
Moomie's Old Fashioned Honey Oatmeal Bread

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Yeast Bread/Rolls (not sourdough)

INSTRUCTIONS
Hubby doesn't like the flavor of molasses in my other oatmeal bread, so I decided to work on a honey flavored loaf. This gives it a lightly sweet flavor without being over powering. This loaf is really delicious, and makes beautiful dinner rolls! It will also make lovely soft buns for sandwiches, or go all out and make cinnamon rolls or sticky buns!

Makes a 1 1/2 pound loaf

1 c. milk*
1/4 c. honey (use less for a less sweet loaf)
1 egg*
2 TBSP butter or margarine
3 1/2 cups flour (scant)
1/2 c. quick cooking oats
1 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast

*You can use 1 cup of water + 2 TBSP dry milk powder rather than the milk in this recipe for equal results. This is especially good when using the delay bake cycle. If using your delayed bake cycle, use a powdered egg product...being sure to adjust your water to make up for the liquid.

Place all ingredients in the bucket of your bread machine. White cycle. Press start.

Or do as I do...shape into a loaf, place in greased loaf pan, cover, allow to rise 30 minutes or so, bake in a preheated oven at 350º for about 50 minutes or til done.

Or...shape into dinner rolls. I like to make 12. Place in a greased 9X11 baking dish, cover, let rise 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375º oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Or...shape into 8 jumbo buns or 16 smaller luncheon buns. Place on greased baking sheets, cover, allow to rise 30 minutes or so. Bake in a preheated 375º oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Or...add 1 tsp cinnamon to the dry ingredients...add 1/2 cup of raisins for a delightful Oatmeal Raisin loaf! Allow your machine to do all the work, or shape into a loaf and proceed as directed above.

Or...make cinnamon rolls using this recipe with the directions for Moomie's Cinnamon Rolls found also in my recipe section.

The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy!
