Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (45 grams), melted
  • ½ cup milk (118 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (40 grams)
  • 2/3 cups warm water (157 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast (8 grams)
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour (70 grams)
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (350 grams)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt (8 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats, roughly chopped, for topping

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it doesn’t burn.
  2. Combine the melted butter, warm milk, honey, and warm water in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for a few minutes until foamy.
  3. Mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and kosher salt in another bowl.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until integrated.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface or with a stand mixer for about 8 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
  6. First rise: shape the dough into a boule and place in a bowl covered with a towel to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. Shape the loaf by punching down the dough gently, then putting it into a greased loaf pan and covering it again. Let it rise for another hour.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough rises for the second time.
  9. Prepare for baking by brushing the top of the loaf with water and sprinkling chopped oats on top.
  10. Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35-37 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
  11. Cool the bread on a rack for at least 90 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best results. Allow bread to cool fully before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
