📝 Preparation Steps
1
To Make the Dough
2
Grease a 9x5 inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan and set aside.
3
In a large bowl add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, seeds, yeast and salt and mix until combined.
(10 oz/280 g) all-purpose flour2 cupssalt1 teaspoon(8 fl oz/240 ml) whole milk1 cup(1 ½ oz/43 g) butter3 tablespoons
4
In a separate jug, add the milk, butter and honey. Heat this mixture until the butter has melted and the milk is warmed slightly. (You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop).
(10 oz/280 g) all-purpose flour2 cups(8 fl oz/240 ml) whole milk1 cup(1 ½ oz/43 g) butter3 tablespoonshoney2 tablespoons
5
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix, using your hands, until your dough comes together and forms a ball.
6
Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead by hand for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes. (Alternatively use the dough hook on your electric mixer and knead for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes).
7
To Proof and Shape the Dough
8
Grease a large bowl lightly with oil and place in the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for about ⏱️ 90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
9
Turn the dough onto your floured surface and shape into a 9-inch (23 cm) long log and pinch the seams underneath. Place into your prepared pan, seam side down.
10
Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and allow it to rise again for ⏱️ 70-90 minutes or until the loaf has risen an inch above the rim. Watch carefully because you don't want the dough to rise too much or it can deflate.
11
To Bake the Dough
12
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully brush the top of the dough with egg wash. Sprinkle a few more oats, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds on top of the dough to garnish.
(10 oz/280 g) all-purpose flour2 cups(8 fl oz/240 ml) whole milk1 cup(1 ½ oz/43 g) butter3 tablespoonsegg washsesame seeds1 tablespoonpoppy seeds1 teaspoon
13
Bake for ⏱️ 35-40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer the loaf to wire rack to cool for completely. (Do not cut the bread before it is completely cooled or the texture will change.)
14
This bread is best enjoyed fresh but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It also freezes very well and makes great toast.
