Honey Oatmeal Bread
5 ¾ to 6 ¼ cups all-purpose, whole wheat flour, or a mix
2 ½ cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbs. quick rising yeast
2 ½ tsp. salt
1 ½ cups water
1 ¼ cup low-fat milk
4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) butter

Blend on low speed of electric mixer until dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed; beat 3 minutes. By hand, gradually stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead 5–8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Shape dough into a ball; place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease both sides of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place 30 minutes or until doubled. Place in two grease 8x4 or 9x5 loaf pans. Cover and let rise again in a warm place 15 minutes or until nearly doubled in size. Heat oven to 375. Bake 35–40 minutes or until dark golden brown. Remove pans to wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
