Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, honey, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
