A Cozy Home – Homemade Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe

Jump to Recipe -

My thoughts on a cozy home and a homemade Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe.

One of the best compliments someone can share with me is to say my home is cozy, warm and inviting. I hope people walk into our home and feel at ease, like a cozy quilt wrapped around them.

Of course, with 4 kids in the house, cozy is sometimes hard to achieve, but we still try. I love having quilts all around, soft lamp lighting and candles lit, as well as some kind of soft, calming music playing. I always say I don’t keep my house spotless because I want anyone and everyone to feel comfortable walking in the door (of course, I say that’s my excuse for not keeping a perfect house, anyway…;) ).

If you were to walk through my front door right now, I’d hand you a cup of hot tea, offer you a comfy seat, and I’d cut you a hot, fresh slice of this Honey Oatmeal Bread. I’d hand you a blanket to ward off the chill from the outside air, and we’d chat about life. That’d be my ideal way to spend an afternoon.

If I knew I wouldn’t eat all of it every time I made it, homemade bread would be a staple in my house. There’s nothing quite better than sitting down to a warm slice of bread with butter, or better yet, homemade bread toasted for breakfast. OK there is one thing better…sharing that homemade bread with a friend!

So consider this me inviting you into my home and sharing a slice of this Honey Oatmeal Bread with you. Pull up a chair and let’s chat.

Course bread
Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes
Servings 1 loaf
Author Dine & Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 cups quick cook oats
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons or 1 packet Fleischmann's® Active Dry Yeast

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into your bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. (Mine suggests liquids first, dry ingredients next, ending with the yeast placed in a small well on top of the flour.)
  • Set your bread machine to dough cycle and allow it to run its cycle.
  • After the cycle is complete, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Turn dough into a lightly buttered loaf pan and bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes, watching closely to make sure it doesn't get too brown. Bread is done when top is a golden brown and loaf sounds "hollow" when tapped.
  • If desired, top the loaf with melted butter.
  • Allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.

    That’s just how I want people to feel about my house. I hope the fact that it’s not spotless and will never win decorating awards help with that effort.
    Can this be made without a bread machine? I actually have one but haven’t used it in about 10 years and was really looking to get rid of it. But, I guess if I can make yummy sounding bread like this, I guess I should dig it out.

      Hi Nancy –
      It definitely can be made without a bread machine. I would allow at least 2 punch down, rises before baking it! I think it’ll turn out beautifully. I just love to use my bread machine so prefer that method on a busy day!

        Hi. I found your site through The Pioneer Woman’s. I tried out this bread and put it in my bread maker. It was so great tasting and the whole family loved it. Thank you for the recipe. I would like to note though that the recipe for a bread maker was a little much. It over baked a little and I had to clean the sides up. But SO worth it. I would make it again the same way and just realize that I’ll have to clean for a few minutes after. 🙂 OR not be lazy and make it the way you said. Thanks again. I’ll be keeping your site as a favorite!

    Is there a reason you don’t bake the whole thing in the bread machine? I make your challah allllllllllll the time and take it out to braid then bake. (It makes the BEST French toast!) I’m curious why you take this more regular type of bread out of the machine and bake in the oven?

  4. Kristen says

    Great question, Kristin! You can definitely bake it in the bread machine. I just really don’t like the way my loaves turn out when baked in the bread machine. But yes, it can definitely be baked in the bread machine to make it even easier on yourself!

    It is looking yummy truly.

    I love the dishes made of bread, and this can be a very nice option for my parties as well.

    Love to see this

    Oh my gosh can I come to your house one afternoon pretty please? Warm and cozy just chatting with you sounds perfect! A slice of this bread right out of the oven in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other. HEAVEN.

      I haven’t tried this recipe with regular cooking oats but I think it’d work. I would probably actually cook them some before hand just to be on the safe side.

    I’d like to try totally making this in my breadmachine, but if I bake it in the oven, what size bread pans are you using??
