Oatmeal Grapefruit Quick Bread Recipes

OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Add oats and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Heat milk to a simmer and pour on top, stirring to combine. Set aside for about 1.5 hours. Mixture should be at room temperature.
• Add honey, warm water, instant yeast, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine. Add the whole wheat flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined. Add the all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Only add enough flour to make a dough that is soft, and not overly sticky (don't add too much flour!). Knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• First Rise: Transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough and divide into two equal pieces. Shape into loaves and place in two lightly greased loaf pans. Make egg wash and gently brush some over the top of each loaf. Sprinkle a small handful of dry oats on top.
• Second rise: Cover with a well greased piece of plastic wrap gently laid on top and let rise in a warm place until risen about 1 inch over the loaf pans, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Carefully peel off the plastic wrap.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes. Loaves are done when tapping lightly on the tops produces hollow sound (or when instant read thermometer registers 200° F). Cool for 15 minutes on wire rack, then turn out of pans and cool completely.

3 INGREDIENT HEALTHY OAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8 x 4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper. If you don't have this size baking pan see notes for other options.
• In a large mixing bowl add oat flour and baking powder. Whisk until baking powder is evenly incorporated into the flour. If desired, you can also mix in 1/2 tsp salt. This will not affect the bread texture but will add a little more flavor to the bread. If you are trying to make a sweet bread, don't add the salt.
• Add in the yogurt. When adding in the yogurt, make sure to not drain out any of the liquid from the yogurt that may be at the top. You want to use that liquid in the bread. Use a spatula to slowly add the yogurt into the batter. Keep folding in the yogurt until it is evenly and completely incorporated. Your dough should be very thick and very sticky.
• Scrape your dough into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to help evenly spread the dough across the pan. Dampen your fingers with a tiny bit of water and then lightly press on the surface of the bread to smooth out the dough. If desired, sprinkle about 1 tbsp of rolled oats across surface and gently press the oats slightly into the surface of the bread so that they stick when baking.
• Bake bread for about 40-45 minutes. The bread should be lightly browned on top and when you press on the surface it should bounce back and not sink in. Let bread cool before cutting and serving. Bread can be toasted or eaten as is with your favorite spread.
