Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the oats, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir until the yeast is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until the surface is frothy and bubbly. This is an indicator that the yeast is active and the dough will rise.
Step 3
Add all-purpose flour, salt, and whole wheat flour to the bowl. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it over so the top is coated with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm, draft-free location.
Step 6
Let the dough rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Knead the dough a few times, and then form it into a loaf.
Step 9
Place the loaf in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan and let it rise again for 20 minutes.
Step 10
Bake the loaf for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. To check if the bread is fully baked, tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow.
Step 11
Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
