Ingredients
- 1½ cup (375ml) water
- 2 tsp (10g) instant yeast
- 4 tbsp (60ml) honey
- 3½ cups (420g) flour
- 1 cup (80g) rolled oats + extra for sprinkling on top
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the lukewarm water, yeast and honey together in a large measuring jug or separate bowl and mix well. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Combine the flour, oats and salt in a large mixing bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, and stir together.
- Pour the wet ingredients (with the oil) into the flour mixture.
- Mix until all the ingredients are completely combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap then place in the fridge overnight to rise.
- Allowing the dough a slow, overnight fermentation improves the flavor and makes it easy to prep ahead.
- Approximately 1 hour before you're planning on baking the bread, remove the dough from the fridge and allow to come up to room temperature for approximately 45-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Turn the dough out on a surface dusted with flour and form into a loaf.
- Transfer to a greased loaf pan (the one I used was 9x5in / 23x13cm).
- Sprinkle a little extra oats on top of the loaf (optional).
- Bake the loaf for 45 minutes in a preheated oven until risen, golden brown and cooked through.
- To check if the bread is cooked, gently tap it on the bottom. If it sounds hollow, the bread is cooked.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and brush with melted butter then allow to cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
