Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)
How to Make Savory Oatmeal Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, salt, olive oil, and honey (if using) to the bowl. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Once the dough has risen, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a round loaf and score the top with a sharp knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your water is warm but not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.
- Letting the bread cool completely before slicing helps maintain its structure.
Easy Variations
- Herbed Oatmeal Bread: Add 1 tablespoon of dried herbs (like oregano or basil) to the dough for an aromatic twist.
- Nutty Oatmeal Bread: Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
- Spicy Cheese Bread: Incorporate diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a kick.
What to Serve With It
- Sliced avocado and poached eggs for a hearty breakfast.
- A side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
- Creamy butter or herb-infused olive oil for dipping.
- A bowl of soup for a comforting lunch.
