Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 11/2 tsps active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsps honey
  • 1 cup oats (I used Quakers)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup + 1/2 cups all purpose flour + for kneading
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup wheat germ

Instructions
 

  • Add the yeast and honey to 1 cup warm water, mix and allow to prove. In a bowl, mix the oats and oil and then add the yeast mixture. Stir and keep aside for about 5 minutes. Now add the flours, wheat germ and salt and knead into a soft mass. The dough will be a bit sticky so use some more flour while kneading. Cover and allow to double in size.
  • Now, punch down the dough and knead till smooth and shape into a loaf. Allow to rise till almost double.
  • Bake at 190C (375F) for about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack for about 15 minutes at least before slicing. This bread is slightly dense but soft and crumbly in texture
