Today!

We are going to have chili for dinner, along with the mummy dogs, and homemade french fries (maybe) We will see about the fries. Anyways- I was wanting to make some homemade bread to go along with the homemade chili my mom made.

here is a recipe I am thinking about trying:

Oatmeal Honey Bread
Oatmeal gives flavor, texture, and nutrition to this yeast bread, while honey adds natural sweetness. Unlike most yeast bread, this one only requires one rising.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup boiling water
• 1 envelope active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup very warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided use
• 3/4 cup oat bran cereal, processed to flour in a food processor

Preparation:

Place oatmeal, butter, honey, and salt in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and stir well to combine. Let cool until warm.

Sprinkle yeast over very warm water in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Add sugar and stir. Let stand 10 minutes until bubbly.

Spray a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil.

Add yeast mixture, egg, 1-1/2 cups of the flour, and oat bran cereal flour to the oatmeal mixture. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes, while gradually adding the remaining 1/2 cup of flour.

Scrape dough into the prepared loaf pan. Spray top with vegetable oil, cover with waxed paper, then with a tea towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Bake for about 1 hour. It should sound hollow when you tap it. Cool the oatmeal bread on a rack before slicing to serve.

I really love Oatmeal bread. I think it will be nice to have some fresh bread for once. I love the way bread smells as its cooking :) Its great! <3>
