I want to get back to bread.
I want to get back to baking bread.
I want to sink my hands in dough, get flour everywhere and spend half a day making one loaf, only to rip it open warm and smear it in peanut butter.
This oatmeal sandwich bread is perfect for just that—-sandwiches! It has a crunchy, golden crust and a soft, fluffy interior. It makes the best peanut butter and jelly sandwiches around, if I may say so myself! Seriously, this bread was MADE for pb&j. I developed it in a similar fashion to the oatmeal bread we used to make at the bakery I worked at, only a little sturdier {cause it’ll be tossed in lunchboxes, you know!}. It’s the perfect everyday bread and makes delicious french toast to boot! Don’t think about it—just make it NOW!
But first, I must admit that I almost didn’t hit publish on this post. Really!
I meant this bread to be purely an experimental loaf. I stayed up late the night before, trying to re-learn baker’s percentages, ratio of flour to water and wild yeast starters. I wasn’t sure if this loaf would even turn out….but the real reason I wasn’t going to post this was because I wasn’t sure anyone would actually make it if it did!
You see, you need a scale.
There’s no getting around it really. To get serious about baking bread, you just can’t measure in measuring cups. Measuring cups are meant for liquids—dry ingredients should really be measured by weight and to do that, you need a scale. Because of this, I am going to list the ingredients for this bread in grams. I apologize in advance if this causes inconvenience, but hopefully it drives my point that good bread is a result of properly measuring the weight of your ingredients.
Here’s the exact scale that I have and love. I got it in school but it’s only $24. I highly recommend it! If it has lasted four years in my house, that means it will last about fifty years in yours considering how hard I am on all my electronics and what a total clutz I tend to be daily.
So, while you do need a scale you don’t need a fancy mixer for this! I actually prefer to mix bread dough by hand. You gotta work those arm muscles so you can enjoy warm bread with butter later!
After the initial rise, the dough is rolled in {more} oats and placed in a loaf pan for its final proof. “Proof” is just a fancy name for rise! As the bread bakes, the oats on the outside get all toasty. You don’t want to skip this step!
The only thing left, then, is to bake and dig in. Who can resist a loaf of warm bread from the oven??
I like my warm bread with raspberry jam! And butter! And peanut butter! And almond butter! And cheese! And! And! And! {you get the point}
Oatmeal Sandwich Bread
makes 1 loaf
Ingredients:
370 grams unbleached all-purpose flour
48 grams old fashioned oats
14 grams granulated sugar
1 packet (1/4th oz) active dry yeast (not instant)
15 grams very soft butter (1 tbsp)
10 grams salt
1 1/3 cups warm water
additional old fashioned oats for rolling
Directions:
Sprinkle the yeast in the warm water and add a pinch of sugar. Set aside to let the yeast activate.
Mix together the flour, oats, salt and sugar in a large bowl (or in the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer). Add the soft butter and slowly pour in the liquid.
Mix with either your hands or using a mixer with a dough hook attachment until dough is smooth. It will be sticky. By hand, this will take approximately eight minutes of kneading. If you are using a mixer, it will take about four minutes on high speed.
Cover bowl with a dishcloth and set in a warm place to rise for 60-90 minutes—until the dough has just about doubled in size.
When the dough has doubled,Β turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down to release any air bubbles caused by the yeast. Cover punched down dough with the dish cloth and let rest for 20 minutes on the counter. This is called the “bench rest”.
Form your dough into a small log and roll in oats. Place dough in a greased loaf pan, cover with cloth and let rise again for 45 minutes in a warm spot. While the dough is rising, preheat oven to 475.
When you are ready to bake, reduce oven temperature to 375 and place bread in oven. Do not open the oven door! It will release steam. Set a timer for 45 minutes . When done, the loaf should be golden brown. If you’re not sure if it’s done, keep it in for five minutes longer. You want a rich dark crust on this loaf.
When done, remove from oven and flip the loaf upright so it stands in the loaf pan (or transfer loaf to a cooling rack). You don’t want the loaf to cool in the loaf pan because it will cause the bottom to get a bit soggy.
Let bread cool for about 30 minutes before slicing…if you can! If you can’t wait, I totally understand.
Time:
active time—20 minutes
total time—about 4 hours
**I do not recommend substituting whole wheat flour for the all purpose here. Using whole wheat flour will make for a dense and heavy loaf, whereas this loaf is light and fluffy.
megan @ whatmegansmaking
August 27, 2012 at 3:36 amI’ve made a similar loaf from King Arthur Flour (called oatmeal sandwich bread as well actually!) and we all loved it. I think the oatmeal makes it sturdier, and more interesting. π
Interesting what you say about weighing ingredients for bread baking. If weight is given as a measurement, I always use it, since it’s more accurate, but I have to say that when I have to use cups to measure, more often than not the bread still turns out great – I think bread is one of those things that is very forgiving π

August 27, 2012 at 3:41 amYUM!
IdaBaker
August 27, 2012 at 4:00 amThere isn’t anything like the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. I just made a similar loaf, with the addition of maple syrup. I’ll be featuring it later this week.
Plus, I love your french toast idea. Fresh bread, especially with the addition of healthy oatmeal, makes some of the best french toast out there.
Alli
August 27, 2012 at 4:09 amLove this! I’m adding this to my list to make.
Hopefully mines will turn our great like yours. I always have a hard time making bread because it turns into a disaster.

August 27, 2012 at 4:32 amLooks delicious! So glad you posted π
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance
August 27, 2012 at 4:36 amnothing beats fresh baked bread! looks amazing!
Anne
August 27, 2012 at 4:44 amYes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!
I LOVE BAKING BREAD! There is nothing better in the whole wide world than filling your home with the scent of yeast bread. Over the last year I have realized 9.5/10 loaves of breads I have made have included oates, I cannot wait to make this!
Food scales are the greatet thing on earth, they are so darn easy!
Heather @ Girlyeverafter
August 27, 2012 at 5:13 amI actually have a scale that my mom gave me a looong time ago. I’ve never used it since I didn’t have a reason to, but now I do. Fresh baked bread is so comforting! Thanks for the tip on whole wheat flour, I sub all the time thinking it’s the same.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
August 27, 2012 at 5:29 amMmm I’ve been waiting for this ever since I saw the pic on Instagram! Great point about the scale. I’m more of a savoury/main dish type of girl whereas my sister is the baker in the family, and she insists on using scales for EVERYTHING!! Although I rarely use one, I do have one sitting in my cupboard in the kitchen… which means I have no excuse not to make this! π
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme)
August 27, 2012 at 5:36 amThis sounds great and I totally have a scale, so I’m definitely going to make this in the future! I actually love scales—they making baking a heck of a lot easier. You can do everything in one bowl and just zero every time π
Averie @ Averie Cooks
August 27, 2012 at 5:36 amJenna this loaf looks amazing! I love the addition of oats sprinkled on top in one of the middle pictures – just so pretty! And of course, PB & J, hello, yes please!
Food scales – makes life easier but I never blog this way because I can already hear it now, But I don’t have a scale…. Good for you for just doing it π
Joelle (on a pink typewriter)
August 27, 2012 at 5:36 amOh my gosh – you read my mind Jenna.. I just got a brand spankin’ new KitchenAid for my birthday LAST night and the first thing I said I wanted to make was bread. It’s happening!
Molly @ RDexposed
August 27, 2012 at 5:38 amWe were just having a dough/yeast discussion last night and finally my boyfriend told me that I just need to buy a scale. I think this is a sign!
Ali @ Gimme Some Oven
August 27, 2012 at 6:02 amMmmm….this sounds delicious for kiddie and adult lunches alike! π And I LOVE my food scale!
Lindsay @ Pinch of Yum
August 27, 2012 at 6:06 amGorgeous! Glad you’re getting back into bread. π
Shannon @ A Fork In Each Hand
August 27, 2012 at 6:22 amI love baking bread too and get a real satisfaction from doing it. Oatmeal bread is one of my faves…this looks so good! π
Maryea {Happy Healthy Mama}
August 27, 2012 at 6:23 amThere is nothing more satisfying than making a loaf of bread from scratch. This one is beautiful!
sally @ sallys baking addiction
August 27, 2012 at 6:39 amHi Jenna! I’m glad you finally did hit “publish” because everyone needs a good homemade sandwich bread! Especially one that can be the sturdy walls of a glorious PB&J sandwich – my favorite kind. I’ve never made a bread from scratch before but this is a good place to start. π
Jill
August 27, 2012 at 6:45 amThis looks really good! We eat a lot of pb & j around here, so this would be perfect! I do need to get a scale though… one of these days.
luv what you do
August 27, 2012 at 6:48 amThat bread is gorgeous and I would have loved a slice, or two for my eggs this morning. I always use a scale for baking and actually have 2. I think it is more accuarate, but also it makes for super easy clean up!
Kaitlin @ A Taste of Bulmer
August 27, 2012 at 7:09 amOh my gosh that bread looks so delicious and warm and comforting. Exactly what I need on this horribly rainy day in Philadelphia. I think you’ve inspired me to go purchase a scale just so that I can make this….
Whitney
August 27, 2012 at 7:13 amHey Jenna- Would a gluten free flour work well in the same ratio for this recipe? Thanks!
jenna
August 27, 2012 at 7:16 amNot sure because I have not tried that. I am thinking the formula would be a little different for gluten-free–I apologize!
Becca
August 27, 2012 at 7:46 amThere’s a GF flour a friend if mine uses called “cup for cup” and it’s supposed to bake up the same as regular Wheat flours. Give it a shot! The consistency can be a little on the sticky/wet side, but when we’ve used it, it’s worked well.
Aggie
August 27, 2012 at 7:14 amWhat a beautiful loaf of bread! I actually think I can make this. My kids would be very impressed π
Jil Murphy
August 27, 2012 at 7:18 amThis looks incredible – and I’ve been meaning to get my hands dirty and do some bread-making! Plus, I use my scale for … pretty much everything! I LOVE it. haha Plus, they’re not that big of an investment – you can definitely pick one up for less than $20!
jenna
August 27, 2012 at 7:34 ammmmm…i bet this was so good right out of the oven.
bridget {bake at 350}
August 27, 2012 at 7:42 amTHIS is my idea of comfort food. I love to get my hands in there, too, Jenna. It’s so relaxing. And, well, you may have just convinced me that I need a scale. π
Gorgeous pictures!

August 27, 2012 at 8:04 ami actually didn’t know that scales were better for dry ingredients…guess it’s time to dig mine out and dust it off!

August 27, 2012 at 8:05 amLooks delicious! I’m not usually a bread baker, but this has to be made…and I even already have a food scale π

August 27, 2012 at 8:16 amLooks (and probably tastes) heavenly!

August 27, 2012 at 8:59 amI plan on “getting into bread baking” this fall, when it’s not in the 100s and 90s here on the Mojave in Southern California. I’m filing this as one of the first recipes to try. You almost make bread from scratch sound easy.
Kim@hungryhealthygirl
August 27, 2012 at 9:20 amAll I can say is YUM! I love pb&js and I have a scale. Thanks for posting!!

August 27, 2012 at 9:31 amFresh bread is SO good – and I’ve never made it from scratch. Time to buy a food scale, thanks for including the one you use in the post!
Krystle
August 27, 2012 at 9:45 amI have been wanting to learn to bake a good loaf of bread, not just the stuff that comes out of the bread maker. So, yes, please do more breads! I have a scale I am ready to learn π
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles
August 27, 2012 at 9:52 amJust another reason why I need to get a food scale, clearly!
Also: would love french toast made with this stuff. That would be amazing.
Monique @ Ambitious Kitchen
August 27, 2012 at 9:54 amLOVE that you don’t need a bread machine for this! Although, that might be one thing to put on my Christmas list this year. Either way this looks delicious; great photos!

August 27, 2012 at 10:33 amI LOVE baking bread! I just made English muffins for the first time this weekend and boy oh boy do I love that yeasty smell that your kitchen takes on while your dough is rising. Does that make me weird? Probably. Oh well.
Anne P
August 27, 2012 at 11:43 amOmg… this takes me back! I remember the first day we met back in… 2009?… when you were working at the bakery and I bought the oatmeal bread you’d made that morning. I still dream of it. π
Miss you! xo

August 27, 2012 at 12:47 pmYum!! I can taste it already! Definitely want to make this.
Alyssa Trobacher
August 27, 2012 at 12:52 pmI do all my baking by weight Jenna, so I appreciate that you saved me a step and also gave me a more exact measurement, so my results are closer to yours. Glad you posted this recipe, as I was feeling the exact. same. way. about baking bread. It’s time to start again. Thanks!
Denise @ TLT
August 27, 2012 at 1:04 pmI always find it funny that weighing in the US is usually done in cups instead of a scale. In Europe it’s definitely the other way around (as you already know of course, especially after your time in France!).
I have to say I often use cups when I want to be quick (and because I use many US recipes and have to converse mine as well), but for baking: weighing is the way to go;)
De
August 27, 2012 at 1:07 pmThis looks amazing! Can’t wait to try.
Julia {The Roasted Root}
August 27, 2012 at 1:11 pmDelicious and nutritious! And perfect slices, wow! Looks great with raspberry jam! I’d totally do PB&J all over this bread….or a nice meaty sandwich too!

Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin
August 27, 2012 at 5:41 pmThis looks so delicious! I baked my own bread from scratch once and even though it took me all afternoon, it was so worth it. I really want to start making my own on a regular basis.
Have you ever tried baking bread with whole wheat bread flour? I believe it has a higher amount of gluten so it is more elastic than regular whole wheat flour, which helps yield better results!
Charlie
August 27, 2012 at 6:14 pmMade this for dinner tonight, already gone! Whipped out the scale and baked while dinner was cooking. My family thanks you, the bread was amazing!

August 27, 2012 at 6:32 pmOh, that makes me so happy! Glad you guys enjoyed it.

August 27, 2012 at 6:37 pmOh girl – I’m trying really hard to be good and good right now means now bread… but I think I am in love because I am loving this loaf!

August 27, 2012 at 10:21 pmThis is beauty and I’m so jealous! I have a gene that causes me to fail at every recipe I try involving yeast. I might need therapy..or maybe just some bread…:)
Sonya
August 28, 2012 at 2:49 amI couldnt agree more about the scale!! My baking has really transformed since using one. I actually found out that the measuring cups I was using was way off and now I weigh everything. It really does make a difference..espically when baking bread! I’ve pinned this and will make it soon. I LOVE bread baking!
Angela @ AnotherBitePlease
August 28, 2012 at 5:54 amI’ve been looking for the perfect reason to get a scale – well 1. I think a scale would make me feel like I am really a professional chef; which I am not but hey I can feel that way right. lol 2. Great photos I love oatmeal bread and it looks so beautiful – odd word to use for bread but it is beauuuuutiful.

September 3, 2012 at 3:12 pmI can’t wait to try this bread!! I am on a mission to be an awesome bread maker. Just curious–why not use instant yeast? I thought instant and dry active yeast are the same except you have to proof the dry active?
Thanks for this recipe!!
jenna
September 3, 2012 at 5:34 pmI just prefer to work with dry active—I guess I just have more experience with it. You don’t have to mix the yeast with the water if you use instant—you can just sprinkle the yeast into the ingredients whereas with active, you have to mix with warm liquid first.

December 4, 2012 at 6:23 amthis bread is seriously delicious. i made it in order to have good sandwich bread that isn’t from the store and not extremely expensive. when it was finished cooking, no one could help their selves. couldn’t wait for a sandwich, they just dug right in. making that more often and smacking hands before they eat it all and leave none for sandwiches!! hehe. i was wondering though: ours kinda didn’t seem to be as tall i guess you would say as i was expecting. still tastes incredible, but it’s short and maybe didn’t rise well or correctly. any suggestions? i’m pretty positive i did the recipe exactly as it’s written. idk what went wrong??
