Honey Oatmeal Bread

Here, by request, is the recipe I recently used for this yummy bread. I wish I could say I created it from my own imagination, but I actually got it from the West Bend Bread Maker Company.

7.5 ounces lukewarm water (7 oz + 1 Tbs)

3 Tbs honey

2 cups bread flour

1 cup raw oats

1.5 Tbs. organic dry milk

1 1/4 tsp salt

1.5 Tbs butter

2 tsp active dry yeast

Assuming you are using a breadmaker, follow the directions for your maker. Mine directs to add ingredients to pan, in the order that is listed. Gently level the dry ingredients. The butter should be quartered, and one quarter placed in each corner of the pan. Dig a small well in the center and pour in yeast. This bread is perfect baked for a medium-crust setting, or about a 3 hr and 10 minute cycle in my West Bend machine. Top it off with homemade butter and/or a little raw honey for a delectable treat!
