4 Star Recipe

My daughter's very favorite bread:

Honey Oatmeal Bread

2 1/2 cups boiling water
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup flax seeds
4 tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup honey

Place all in medium bowl and let cool to just warm.
Sprinkle over the oat mixture and let sit 1 minute:

3 teaspoons active yeast

Add in remaining ingredients and knead 5-7 minutes.

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup dry milk

Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour. Lightly grease 2 bread pans. Gently deflate dough and roll into loaf shapes. Allow to rise in pans for 1-2 hours. Bake 350 for 45 minutes. Brush with butter and cover with bread towel while cooling on a wire rack. Freezes well!!
