Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 1 loaf
1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour if preferred)
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for added richness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Soften the Oats
In a large mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the rolled oats. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes , until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the water.
Step 2: Activate the Yeast
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm oat mixture (it should be warm, not hot). Let it sit for 5–10 minutes , until the yeast becomes frothy and activated.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
Add the whole wheat flour, salt, and olive oil (if using) to the oat mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough gently in the bowl or on a floured surface for 2–3 minutes , until smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.
Step 4: Let It Rise
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour , or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape and Bake
