Ingredients
- 1. Approximately one and one-eighth cups of water
- 2. About one-third cup of honey
- 3. A generous one and a half tablespoons of oil
- 4. A single tablespoon of dry milk powder
- 5. One and a half teaspoons of salt
- 6. One and a half teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 7. Roughly three cups of whole wheat flour, possibly more
- 8. A quarter cup of rolled oats, or to suit your preference
Step 1
Begin by pouring water into a glass measuring cup, ensuring it is large enough, and warming it in the microwave for about 45 seconds, until it reaches a comfortable temperature. To this, add honey, oil, milk powder, salt, and yeast, combining them with a fork. Next, pour this mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
Step 2
Gradually add flour to the mixer, one cup at a time, while mixing on low speed until everything is well combined. Increase the speed to form a smooth dough, adjusting with more flour if needed. Once ready, transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
Step 3
Sprinkle oats on the work surface and roll the dough in them before placing it on a piece of parchment paper. Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the dough into a slow cooker. Cover it and cook on High for approximately 1 1/2 hours, ensuring the bread is thoroughly cooked.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Begin by ensuring you have a clean and dry airtight container that is large enough to accommodate the size of the bread loaf.
- 2. Line the container with a cotton tea towel or parchment paper to absorb any excess moisture and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
