Please continue on to our recipe posted below and don't forget to watch our short tutorial before you start your bread to make sure you understand the steps. Enjoy:)
Ingredients
- All purpose white flour - 2 cups
- All purpose whole wheat flour - 2 cups
- Oatmeal - 1 cup
- Butter or margarine - 2 tbsp,plus extra for pans
- Honey - ¼ cup or 2 tbsp sugar
- Corn syrup - 1 tbsp
- Yeast - 2 Tsp, fast rising or traditional
- Warm milk - ½ cup
- Warm water - 1 cup
- Sea salt - 1 tsp
Instructions
Method:
• Combine in large bowl, 1½ cups all purpose white flour, 2 cups of all purpose whole wheat flour, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 tsp sea salt, mix together.
• In another small bowl, add dry fast rising or traditional yeast with 1 cup warm water and ¼ cup honey, stir and let rise for about 5 minutes.
• In another bowl melt 2 tbsp butter or margarine.
• In your flour mixture bowl make an hole in the middle to pour your yeast and warm water, butter, ½ cup warm milk, 1 tbsp corn syrup, mixing all ingredients together with a wooden spoon or kitchen aid until it thickens, then keep adding ½ cup of flour to work dough together.
• ( If you need to add more warm water this should be done during the mixing stage.)
• This can be done with your hand or kitchen aid with a hook.
• Knead dough, add more flour if necessary until dough is smooth, elastic and no longer sticky and you can hear cracking of the dough when folding dough. “Keep working dough into a ball.”
• When completed sprinkle some flour over the top of dough, cut a cross in the top and then cover with a piece of parchment paper and a towel.
• Let dough rise in a warm place until dough rises for 30 minutes then knead it down.
• Repeat this step letting the dough rise again for another 30 minutes, after risen don’t deflate dough before cutting it.
- After your dough rises, cut in small pieces forming it inwards into a ball 6.4 oz, then place in your bread pans. Make three buns in one pan, you can also have some dough to make 1 full loaf of bread.
- Makes 2 loafs of bread, keep covered and in a warm place until dough rises half the size you started with, but only for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven at 350 degrees F, bake bread for 30 minutes, depending on your oven, when bread is baked remove from oven and take out of your pans and place them out on a (cooling rack). This prevents bread from getting moist on the bottom.
Glaze bread with butter or margarine, cover with a towel, serve hot or cold.
BAKERS TIPS:
-After bread cools put them in plastic bags and freeze, this will keep bread soft and fresh when thawed
-I always mark the sign of a cross a few times on top of the dough, then cut the top of the dough like a cross to see texture. Crossing your bread is optional, this is an old NL tradition
- Rising dough in oven with the LIGHT ON ONLY makes it warm as well for the dough.
- Finely grinding up oatmeal if you wish, instead of large grains.
- Substitute honey and corn syrup for maple syrup if you wish.

I’ve been making oatmeal bread for awhile. My first taste was when I was going to university in Halifax. I can get white flour but not whole wheat. Does it make a difference? In the baking? Consistency?
Love your work. Thank you.

I’m sorry if this is a duplicate comment but have not been able to find the other.
Love your work. Thank you.
Hi Gayle, Thank you for your message and no worries about two same messages I do that all the time, 🙂 I’m so glad you stopped by. If you used all white flour it will still be lovely and have the same texture. The reasons for using whole wheat was for the healthier side of making oats and wheat, but white and oats will be lovely. I hope this answers your question and please follow up after you make them and send a picture, [email protected] if you wish, we always make a slide show to share with our Facebook viewers to share their hard work. 🙂 Enjoy Bonita
Given that we are well into June, I have since found whole wheat flour and am again making bread. And I cannot remember how the other turned out! Will try to send you some pictures of my current batch! One loaf and buns!
Thank you again!

Happy for your recipe. I have never made homemade bread . I am excited by your video re the oatmeal honey bread and think I should be able to make it. If I leave out the white flour would that be ok?
Hi Barbara: Thank you for your message and for stopping by, I’m glad you are going to make our NEW recipe for OATMEAL HONEY BREAD. If you wish you can leave out the white flour and just add the flour you have available, I like using the white flour on this one for working the dough together. Our video are made to help new and seasoned bakers start for the first time baking or just to get back into baking, the step by step tutorial video will help you. You can also message me if you need any question answered but I’m the only one that answers my messages and it takes me a little while to get to all of them. But enjoy to the fullest and Happy Canada Day. Looks like I may of answered all your messages in the one. 🙂 Bonita
