Ingredients

For a 1.5 Pound Loaf

For a 2 Pound Loaf

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread Pan: Start by measuring and adding the liquid ingredients (water, molasses, and butter) to the bread pan.

  2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Measure and add the dry ingredients (bread flour, oats, sugar, and salt) on top of the liquid. It’s important to keep the salt and yeast separate in this step!

  3. Create a Yeast Well: Use your finger to form a well (a small hole) in the center of the flour layer. Carefully measure the yeast and pour it into this well.

⚠️ Tip: Yeast must NEVER come into contact with the liquid ingredients at this stage to ensure proper activation during the mixing process.

  1. Setup the Breadmaker: Snap the baking pan into your breadmaker and close the lid securely.

  2. Select Your Settings:

    • Press the "Select" button to choose the Sweet setting for optimal results.
    • Choose your preferred crust color by pressing the "Crust Color" button—light, medium, or dark.

  3. Start the Baking Process: Finally, press the "Start/Stop" button to begin baking your delicious bread!
