American · Bread · 70 min total

A soft, slightly sweet bread studded with plump raisins and hearty oats, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.

Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup raisins

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine oats and buttermilk. Let sit for 20 minutes to soften.
2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy.
3. Add remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and oat mixture to the yeast. Mix well.
4. Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. Fold in raisins.
5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
7. Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
9. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• For a softer crust, brush the top with melted butter after baking.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Toast slices for a crunchy texture.
