Easy Honey Oat Bread

Inspire Create Wellness ~Mari J
Similar to overnight oats, the dough for this Easy Honey Oat Bread is mixed together in a bowl and rests overnight while you sleep. In the morning it's ready to transfer into a Dutch Oven and bake. www.inspirecreatewellness.com

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3/4 cups Organic All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Organic Oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups Warm Filtered or Spring Water
  • 1 tsp Local Honey

Instructions
 

  • Add Organic All-Purpose Flour, Organic Oats, Sea Salt, and Active Yeast to a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine the dry ingredients.
  • Combine Warm Water and Local Honey in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
  • Pour the Warm Honey Water over the dry ingredients and mix with a large wooden spoon. The dough will come together quite quickly. Once it starts to form a ball and all the ingredients are incorporated, stop mixing. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rest overnight or for at least 10 hours.
  • The next morning place the dough on a floured surface. Form into a round dough ball using a pastry scraper and a few sprinkles of flour. Sprinkle the top of the dough ball with a little flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes while you heat an empty Dutch Oven in a 400 degree oven.
  • Place the EMPTY Dutch Oven, with the lid on, into a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes while the dough is resting. This step is vital to making this bread!
  • Remove the hot Dutch Oven and place the dough in the center using a pastry scraper. Be careful! The Dutch Oven is 400 degrees. Use a hot pad to put the lid back on and place back in the 400 degree oven for 30 minutes (with the lid on).
  • After 30 minutes of baking (with the lid on) remove the lid, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This will create the golden brown crispy crust.
  • After 10 minutes of baking without the lid, the bread is golden brown and ready to come out of the oven but don't stop there. Remove the hot bread from the Dutch Oven using the back of a wooden spoon to lift and grab (with hot pads) and place it on a cooling rack. Do not leave it in the hot Dutch Oven!
  • Now for the final and hardest step of all. Allow the bread to cool before slicing!

Notes

Easy Honey Oat Bread is shelf stable for about 3 days. After 3 days, slice and place remaining bread in the freezer so it's convenient when you need a slice or two.  Defrost frozen slices on the counter or toast in a toaster oven.
