Categories     Grains

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats (traditional or quick not instant)
1/2 cup maple sugar (or brown sugar)
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon kosher salt (or 2 1/2 teaspoons table salt)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, Vietnamese preferred (you can reduce or leave out if desired)
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat flour)
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, oats, maple or brown sugar, honey, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Let cool to lukewarm, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the yeast and flours, stirring to form a rough dough. Knead (about 10 minutes by hand, 5 to 7 minutes by machine) until the dough is smooth and satiny.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour. Since the dough is warm to begin with (from the boiling water), it should become quite puffy.
  • Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a loaf. Place the loaves in two greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" bread pans.
  • Cover the pans with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow the loaves to rise until they've crowned about 1" over the rim of the pan, about 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Bake the loaves in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting them lightly with aluminum foil after 25 minutes, to prevent over-browning. Remove them from the oven when they're golden brown, and the interior registers 190°F on a digital thermometer.
  • Turn the loaves out onto a rack to cool. Store at room temperature, well-wrapped, for several days; freeze for longer storage.

Time 2h41m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup maple sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon (Saigon cinnamon prefered)
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 1/2 cups 100% white whole wheat flour
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, oats, maple sugar, honey, butter, salt and cinnamon. Let cool to lukewarm.
  • Add the yeast and flours, stirring to form a rough dough. Knead (about 10 minutes by hand, 5 to 7 minutes by machine) until the dough is smooth and satiny. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use bread flour for a chewier texture. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a stronger gluten network and a chewier loaf of bread.
  • Activate the yeast properly. To ensure that your bread rises properly, activate the yeast in warm water with a little bit of sugar. The yeast will feed on the sugar and start to grow.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten network and gives the bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The ideal temperature for rising bread dough is between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. You can let the dough rise in a warm oven, or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature. To get a crispy crust, bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to finish baking the bread.

Conclusion:

Vermont Honey Wheat Bread is an easy-to-make and delicious bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its slightly sweet flavor and chewy texture, this bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a homemade bread recipe, give Vermont Honey Wheat Bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
