Instructions
In large bowl add your water, honey and yeast and let sit for the yeast to proof (about 10 minutes).
When bubbly add 2 Tbs butter, sugar, salt, egg and molasses and mix well.
Stir in about 3 1/2 cups of your flour and oatmeal and stir until dough pulls away from sides of bowl (you can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook).
Sprinkle a flat surface with more flour and turn out dough onto it.
Knead dough until a soft ball forms, adding more flour (I ended up adding 4 1/2 cups) throughout the process.
Once soft and no longer sticky, spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place dough into bowl turning over once to coat.
Place in a warm, draft free spot and cover with a dish towel. We like to turn the oven onto warm and turn off before placing the dough inside and leaving the oven light on.
Let dough rise until it's doubled in size about 1-2 hours.
Once risen remove dough and turn out onto a clean surface.
Split dough into to two sections. If you are wanting to make bread loaves, shape each section into a log and place into 2 9"x5" bread loaf pans sprayed with cooking spray.
If you are wanting to make rolls, cut dough into about 24 separate pieces and shape into balls ad place into 2 11"x7" baking dishes, sprinkle with additional oatmeal at this time.
Cover your dough again and let rice one more time until doubled in size.
Once risen again, preheat your oven to 350.

This was one of the absolute best, most amazing, delicious bread recipes I've made!! I LOVE bread!! It's in my top five for sure!! Everyone should be baking and eating this bread. Seriously one of the best!! 😊😃 The texture is so amazing, it's so fluffy and the taste is wonderful! It's a winner for sure! I altered it just a little. I replaced the water with half almond milk and half oat milk and I replaced one third of the molasses with honey. I also, put the salt in with the flour and oats. I don't ever let it touch the yeast so it doesn't kill it and allows it to rise better. The last ten minutes I put tinfoil, a hat lol on top of the bread so it didn't over brown the tops.
Alli, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!! It's a gem! Much appreciated! ❤️😀☺️
This was a great recipe. I altered it, using half almond milk and water. I want a relight richer flavor and it was perfect! One could use whole milk too. Great flavor and incredible texture. Definitely using this again!
I've made this quite a few times and it's our favorite bread. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is I'm confused about the resulting dough before you have it rise the first time. Mine never turns into a ball. It's like a sticky cookie dough and I lose quite a bit of dough as it sticks to my hands. the clean surface, bowl etc. I've even added more flour and it doesn't change anything. However, the resulting bread is fabulous
Perfect oatmeal molasses bread! Thank you for sharing the recipe! The texture is so soft and fluffy, the flavor is delightful. Doubled the recipe and made 4 loaves to share. So tasty!
