Honey Oatmeal Bread

Honey Oatmeal Bread is my favorite homemade bread.  The slightly sweet taste combined with its rustic look makes it perfect to serve with many meals.

Honey Oatmeal Bread

1 cup water (between 70-80 degrees F)

1 rounded tsp. active dry yeast

1.  In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer.   

2.  Select Basic or White Bread Cycle, 1-pound setting, and medium or dark crust setting.  (I use dark.)

4.  Remove immediately from baking pan when done and let cool 15 minutes before slicing.
