Honey Oat Bread

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¾ cup coconut oil
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. yeast

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix yeast, honey, and water and let it sit for 5 minutes to proof.
  2. Add whole wheat flour, oat flour, honey, melted coconut oil, eggs (lightly beaten) and salt.
  3. Mix until it forms a moderately stiff dough.
  4. Turn it out onto a floured board to knead.  Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding enough flour to get a smooth, elastic, no longer sticky dough. It will stick to your hands a lot initially...and then it shouldn't be much at all.
  5. Put the dough back in the bowl and set it to rise until doubled, 1 - 2 hours.
  6. Punch the dough down and divide it in half.  Shape roughly into loaves (this doesn't matter too much) and put into two greased loaf pans.
  7. Let this rise in a warm place for about one hour. The bread should double and crest the tops of the pan.
  8. Bake at 350ºF for 40 - 50 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
