This rustic oatmeal dinner bread is soft, hearty, and full of homey flavor. With a tender crumb, golden crust, and a hint of sweetness from brown sugar, it’s perfect for any meal from breakfast toast to cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 ½ cups Boiling Water
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 3 to 3 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • Optional: Rolled oats for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine oats and boiling water. Let sit for 15–20 minutes.
  3. Stir in brown sugar, salt, and softened butter. When lukewarm, add yeast and mix.
  4. Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for 45–60 minutes until doubled.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  8. Brush top with melted butter and sprinkle with oats if desired. Cool on wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Let oats soak properly before adding yeast to prevent killing the yeast with heat.
  • For a crusty finish, place a tray of hot water in the oven while baking.
  • Use a stand mixer with dough hook to knead if preferred.
  • Store cooled bread in a sealed bag at room temp for 2–3 days or freeze for later use.
