Whole Wheat Oatmeal Bread

Wednesday I made this bread for sandwiches and such, because we were running out and I didn't feel like going to the store again. 

This recipe came from Taste of Home.  Mom printed this on March 20, 2008, so it would have just been Mom, Dad, and me that partook, but I don't remember it.

I didn't have powdered milk, so I used skim milk and lessened the water amount. 

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Bread

1-1/4 C Warm water
2T Honey
2T Softened butter or margarine
1-1/4 t Salt
2T nonfat dry milk powder
1-3/4 C Bread flour
1 C Whole Wheat Flour
1/3 C Quick cooking oats
1-1/4 t Active dry yeast




Directions

In Bread machine, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer.  Select basic bread setting.  Choose crust color and loaf size if available.  Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 T of water or flour if needed).  Yield: 1 loaf

The bread turned out okay.  I don't have a bread machine, so I mixed and kneaded the dough in my KitchenAid and then baked at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.  Unfortunately, I thought it was too bland.  More salt would have fixed that.  Also, it was very dry and that also was a turn off for us.  If you are here looking for a bread recipe, I would say scroll down one recipe to the better bread recipe, because I wouldn't make this bread again.
