Honey Wheat Oat Bread #BreadBakers

This month the Bread Bakers are baking up breads with oats!  These breads can be sweet or savory but must contain some kind of oats!   My first thought was to make a sweet bread but then I remembered I had just made a brown butter banana oat brown a few weeks ago.  While it was amazing, I didn’t want to repeat myself so soon.  That left a savory oat bread.

Now I can honestly tell you that I don’t think I’ve ever made a savory bread using oats before.  I searched through a few of my bread books and online and came up with a few I thought were promising.  I finally settled on taking one recipe and adding my own flair to it.  The resulting bread is a honey wheat oat bread.

The honey wheat oat bread starts with a base of wheat flour, all purpose flour, and oats.   Then we add in some honey and molasses both for sweetness and to give the bread some color.   Then a bit of cocoa and sea salt are added in for a more complex flavor.

I wasn’t quite sure what the bread would taste like but it sure smelled good as it was rising.  The color wasn’t as dark as I thought it was going to get, but it looked like a nice wheat loaf.   Coming out of the oven it looked delicious.

The flavor of the bread was wheat and slightly sweet from the honey and molasses, but it also had a different texture, probably from the oats.   I found it to be really tasty with a slab of butter in the morning or with a little bit of jam for a snack.
