I applied the same trick I learned in "Best Bread Machine Bread" from allrecipes. Mix your honey and warm water and pour it in your bread machine. Then, despite that fact that it flies in the face of what your bread machine instructions say, add the yeast and let it proof for 10 minutes. Then add your flour, oats, granola, salt and butter. By adding the yeast first you will have a super tall, light loaf. I had to add 3 tbsp of flour to make the dough less sticky. I also used half whole wheat flour, half white flour. And I didn't have golden raisins on hand so I used regular raisins. This is a really nice, subtly sweet loaf with just a hint of crunch. My kid liked it so much that she ate 2 big slices.

So far, I'm rating this a 3 because I had to add so much extra flour. That might be because I'm using regular white flour, but, in all the other yeast bread recipes from this site that I've made, I've never had this problem. It's going fine now in my bread machine. Will update later. UPDATE: The bread is delicious! It came out of my bread machine beautifully! Very pleased with the taste, and texture. Will make again. Next time I make this I will use bread flour and see if it does make a difference. It has a slightly sweet taste, but, it is one of the best I've made from this site. Thanks. P.S. If it doesn't register, I changed my rating from 3 to 5.

Excellent!! I made it with 100% whole wheat flour. The flavor and texture are great, plus it's healthy and very hearty. Every time we eat it, my husband can't stop saying how much he likes this recipe. I've been making a different recipe every day lately, and this one ranks at the top of the list.
