Honey Oat Bread – a soft and tender bread with oats and sweet honey. This is an easy no-knead bread that is great for toast, sandwiches, or even with soup for dinner.
When you have homemade bread baking in the oven your house smells absolutely amazing! There is nothing like it. And this oat bread is so easy to make, you are going to want to be making it every single week. There is no kneading involved, so it is so much easier than other homemade breads.
What is No Knead Bread
Obviously it means that you just mix everything together and don’t have to spend time kneading it. When you are making a traditional bread kneading is what develops the glutens and gives the bread the texture. Not kneading the dough relies on the rising time to develop the gluten. This bread has 2 separate rises, and that is what gives the bread the texture. Normally a no knead dough is much wetter as well, and doesn’t develop the same crustier exterior that other breads do.
How to Store Homemade Bread
This bread has a soft crust, so you can just wrap in plastic or foil and store for 3-4 days. Because it does not contain any preservatives, it will not last more than a couple of days. This recipe does make 2 loaves, so we usually eat one loaf right away and then freeze the second. To Freeze Homemade Bread I let it cool completely. Then wrap in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. This ensures that it will not dry out in the freezer. It will last for 2-3 months in the freezer.
What to Serve Oat Bread With
- Carrot Ginger Soup
- Oven Baked Pork Chops
- Honey Dijon Chicken
How to Make Honey Oat Bread
- Yeast – the first step is to mix warm water and yeast together and let it bloom. This means to let it sit for about 10 minutes until it starts to get foamy and puff up.
- Mix – Next you mix everything together. You can use a mixer or just a spatula. You are not going to knead the dough, so you just want it to start to form a ball of dough.
- Rise – Once it comes together and forms a ball of dough, place in a well oiled bowl and cover to let it rise until it doubles in size.
- Form Loaves – Once the dough has rise, punch it down and divide into 2 equal loaves. Roll into loaves and place on a baking sheet, or roll and put into loaf pans (these will take a little longer to bake). Then let the dough rise again.
- Bake – to bake the bread brush with an egg wash to give it that nice shiny golden color. Sprinkle with oats and then bake until golden brown.
This is very similar in taste to Subway honey oat bread, but in a different shape. You could easily form into small loaves if you wanted to make sub buns instead of a whole loaf. But you get the same slightly sweet, dense, while still soft and chewy bread. It is great toasted with jam for breakfast, to turn into a sandwich or even with soup for dinner.

Instructions
- Sprinkle the yeast over the water, and let set for 10 minutes until frothy.
