Honey Oatmeal Bread

This has got to be one of the simplest breads to make.

 

You still have to incorporate the yeast, but you don't have to knead it!

 

And, boy howdy is it yummy!

 

 

I hope you all give it a try, you won't be sorry!

 

 

 

 

Honey Oatmeal Bread

 

1/2 c. old fashioned oats

1/4 c. honey

2 Tbsp. butter

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. boiling water

2 1/2 c. flour

1 pkg. Rapid Rise yeast

1 egg

1 Tbsp. old fashioned oats, optional

 

 

Combine 1/2 c. oats, honey, butter, salt and boiling water

 into a large mixing bowl. (I used my Kitchen Aid mixer)

 

Once combined, let cool for about 5-8 minutes, or until very warm.

 

Add in 1 cup flour, the yeast and egg. Beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.

 

Increase your speed to high and beat for 3 minutes.

 

Stir in your remaining 1 1/2 cups flour to make a stiff batter.

 

Spoon batter into a greased bread pan.

Sprinkle with oats if desired.

 

Cover and let rise till doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.

 

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

 

This recipe only makes one loaf, but I double it to get the two loaves!!

 

Happy Baking and Enjoy!

 

 

Blessings,

 

 

 



Hearth Bread

 

I am finally getting comfortable with working with yeast and learning every technique I can find to mastering a certain bread recipe. My mother in law, Roxy found this one and believe it or not, but it's suppose to help beginners master the dough.

I found it quite easy to understand and it always helps

 when you have someone showing you step by step on what to do.

 

I hope this link helps you with wanting to learn the

basics in making any kind of bread you desire to try.

 

 

Have a great week and Happy Bread Making!

Thank you Jesus, for the amazing reality of Your Grace.

Cinnamon Rolls

 

Cinnamon Rolls remind me of being in the kitchen with my grandma.  I loved making and baking and creating new dishes with her.  And, then for the longest time I never made them and my mom did. My moms cinnamon rolls are a comfort food that I just love. She makes hers with a gooey topping and I just learned how to make them just last week.

 For whatever reason, I always struggled with the yeast thing and my rolls never turned out, so I gave up. Then just last week my mom in law, Roxy told me it was time to learn to make bread.... So, she showed me step by step what to do in the whole bread making process

 (I'll post that in another post)

So, last week we made whole wheat bread and cinnamon rolls and boy were they yummy!

 And, nothing was hard. The yeast did it's job and as Roxy told me to knead some love into that dough. And guess what?! It worked!

So, today I decided to try making it on my own with no assistance and both my bread and my cinnamon rolls turned out. I made on batch that was gooey like my moms and one batch with frosting, my hubby's favorite!

 

Sometimes I think for whatever reason the timing was off when I tried to make bread years ago, maybe a little sadness from my grandma being gone or being a new bride and not having a clue what I was doing in the kitchen or I just feared the yeast! All I can say to anyone out there trying to make bread is don't give up,

keep trying and if you need some help-ASK!

When you first don't succeed try, try again!

 

And, now for the recipe:

Also, in the recipe above, I didn't do the cinnamon raisin filling, I did a combination of brown sugar, nuts, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. You can make up your own mixture to put in yours, if you would like.

 

If you want the gooey topping:

In your 9x13 pan, spread about a 1/4 cup butter, then top the butter with about 1 1/2 cups brown sugar and then drizzle over the top with about a 1/2 cup corn syrup or honey. Then put your cut dough rolls on top and then let rise.

They are ooey gooey and so delicious!

 

I hope you enjoy this simple easy recipe as much as I did!
