Oats Porridge Bread Recipe

Easy Homemade Oatmeal Bread made with rolled oats, whole wheat flour and sweetened with honey.  We love this delicious healthy bread recipe.

I love rolled oats, especially in baked goods because it gives them a nice texture, flavor, and some added fiber.  Don’t miss other recipes using oats, like Carrot Muffins, Oatmeal Cake, and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Soak the oats:  Add oats and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer or to a 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.

2. Make bread:  Add honey, warm water, instant yeast, 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.

3. Let 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.

4. Shape loaves: Punch down the dough and divide into two. 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.

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.

6. 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.

To make in a bread machine: You may want to halve the recipe to make one loaf, depending on the capacity of your bread machine.

For Active dry yeast: If you know your yeast is fresh it’s not necessary to proof the yeast in this recipe.  Simply substitute an equal amount and add it in place of instant yeast.

To make ahead: Make the bread dough through step 2, before the first rise. Place in a large airtight container, and refrigerate for up to one day. Remove from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Proceed with punching down and forming loaves.

To freeze bread dough: Prepare the recipe through step 3, before the second rise. Place the shaped loaves into a freezer-safe or disposable aluminum bread pan. Cover tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, allow the loaves to thaw and complete the second rise, at room temperature (about 5 hours). Bake as directed.

Rustic Oatmeal Bread Recipe (aka Porridge Bread)

When it comes to bread, I love a loaf that delivers some whole grain goodness, but that also maintains a lovely soft crumb, like my Seeded Multigrain Sandwich Bread. This Honey Oat Bread also falls into that camp, with a good bit of rolled oats and a touch of whole wheat flour added into the mix.

I love this loaf for its great flavour from the oats and honey, its tender, moist crumb and its rustic, oat-rolled appearance. This oat bread keeps well, slices beautifully and makes the most fabulous sandwiches!

If you are new to bread making, I highly encourage you to check out my Getting Started With Yeast Bread Baking resource page, to get a good understanding of the process of making homemade bread.

Oatmeal Banana Bread (made With Greek Yogurt)

This loaf will need a solid 45 minutes in the oven or until it reach at least 200F internal temperature when tested with an instant read thermometer. Be sure you are inserting the thermometer in the dead centre of the loaf for the most accurate reading. It shouldn’t have over-browned in that time, but check your loaf at about 35-40 minutes and if it seems in danger of over-browning, lay a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over-top for the last part of baking.

The addition of soaked oatmeal to this bread produces a lovely, moist loaf, but it also means the loaf will need longer in the oven to bake off some of that moisture. This loaf will need at least 45 minutes in the oven, which is quite a bit longer than most bread loaves. A thermometer is best for testing done-ness, but if you don’t have a thermometer, err on the side of leaving it in the oven a few minutes longer, rather than rushing it out, to ensure you don’t end up with a loaf with an under-done middle.

This bread will keep well, well-wrapped on the counter for several days. This bread will also freeze beautifully up to 3 months.

Hi! I’m Jennifer, a home cook schooled by trial and error and almost 40 years of getting dinner on the table! I love to share my favourite recipes, both old and new, together with lots of tips and tricks to hopefully help make your home cooking enjoyable, stress free, rewarding and of course, delicious!After the past few weeks, I'm not sure I want to move ever again. Throughout the last year as our new house has been under construction, we've been steadily reducing anything superfluous around the house. My wife and I don't have much “fluff” to start with (we try only to buy what we need), and yet, this move (just across town mind you) has been a sprint from start to finish. We had only a few weeks to fix all the small issues found by the inspector, prepare all the paperwork required, pack up our belongings, and finally do the last cleaning. Toss on a graduation trip one of the weekends plus visiting family, and that leaves only a smidgen of time to get all this done. But as is always true with me when it comes to baking, making this oat porridge sourdough bread was a priority.

We finally finished packing the track to the brim; furniture on top of furniture, kitchen stuff on top of bedroom stuff, clothes on top of everything else, but one sure thing was my starter acted as a co-pilot up front in the moving truck where I could keep a close eye on it.

Somehow we pulled it off and are now in a temporary abode until our home is finished hopefully only a few more weeks. Baking for the rest of the month is going to be tough, but it's going to make moving into a home with a double oven that much better. I cannot wait to double my bread baking experiments.

Now that the moving gripes are out of the way let's get started with this entry. I've been working on it for quite a while now through several attempts, failures, and successes. Let's talk about oats.
