Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 loaves, or 36 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup warm water
3 tablespoons active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup honey
1/2 cup oil
2 1/2 tablespoons salt
12 cups unbleached white flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
poppy seeds (optional) or 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup warm water with yeast. Let stand until yeast is dissolved and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the yeast mixture in your mixer (if you have one large enough for this recipe), or in a large bowl. Add the additional water, oats, honey, oil and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • Gradually add in the flours, mixing/kneading well, until a soft dough is formed. Knead another 5 minutes, adding small quantities of flour, until the dough feels like an ear lobe.
  • Place in a large, oiled bowl, turning dough to coat, and cover with a damp towel. Plase in a warm place and let rise until doubled in size, about one hour.
  • Punch down the dough, divide into 6 pieces (or more ifyou are making rolls) and shape into loaves or braid or do whatever you do with your challah dough.
  • Place on greased pans (I prefer using parchment paper, ungreased), and brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with seeds or extra oats.
  • Bake at 350F for about 35 minutes for loaves, or 20+ minutes for rolls.

This challah bread was a delightful surprise! It had the perfect balance of sweetness from the honey and a hearty chew from the oats. The crust was golden brown and crispy, while the inside was soft and fluffy. My family loved it!
