Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread
No preservatives or anything artificial. Fabulous breakfast bread, toasted or not!!! Raisins may be added if desired to create Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Directions for making Cinnamon Swirl Bread and Cinnamon Chip Danish are on the bag. Both are fantastic!!
NEEDED TO COMPLETE:
Water - 7/8 cup (110°-120°F) (One cup minus two Tbl.)
Margarine/Butter - 2½ tbsp (softened)
Yeast - Use entire enclosed packet
BREAD MACHINE DIRECTIONS (1 1/2 lbs):
Add ingredients to bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer (see machine's instruction book). Set machine for Basic Cycle and Medium/Normal crust color. Press START. NOT recommended in cycles of less than three hours. Remove bread from pan; cool on wire rack. To create a softer crust, place a light linen towel over bread until it cools.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN DIRECTIONS:
Combine bread mix and yeast in large bowl: stir well. Add very warm water along with the softened butter. Stir to form soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in oiled bowl, cover and let rest/rise in a warm, draft-free place for approx. 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and then form into a loaf to fit a greased 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise until doubled in size, approx. 30-40 minutes. Bake in 375* oven for 25-35 minutes or until done (thump the loaf - it should sound hollow). Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
Ingredients: bread flour, oats, buttermilk powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
