A nice texture, very easy to cut with few crumbs as result. Even better toasted. The oatmeal just dissolved in this recipe! It was a little too sweet to use with most sandwiches, but made great breakfast bread. Also, I tried putting all the dough into one bread loaf pan (only have one and many times the loaves turn out too small if I put in two), but this one really does need two loaf pans or should be halved! I got a huge loaf of bread, some of which spilled over to the bottom of the oven during baking.

Thanks to other reviews, I knew to add extra flour. This subtly sweet, chewy bread was a huge hit in my house! Though it took a bit of time, it was really easy to make (it was one of my first bread making attempts). Delicious!

I used milk instead of water. And I soaked the oatmeal in the milk for about 30 minutes before putting it in the bread maker.

Awfully crumbly and quite dry even though I waited the recommended time for each step. I guess I am just not cut out for breadmaking. The honey was tasty though.

Yay...my first time ever baking bread from scratch. It turned out great! I was so happy to cut into it and see it look like bread! After reading other reviews, I only used 1.5 cups of water to soak the oats and all in, but still ended up using probably close to 5c of flour by the end of the kneading. For some reason I added one dash cinnamon and 2 dashes nutmeg to the beginning oatmeal mixture. I also used 2 packets of yeast. The dough rose as it was supposed to the first time..maybe it's a beginner mistake, I didn't handle the dough much between punching it down and shaping the loaves, I will do that next time because the loaves didn't rise as much as I had hoped. I actually made 8-3x5 mini-loaves, baked with a pan of hot water on the bottom shelf in the oven. I baked them for just over 35 minutes but I think I should have left them in a few more minutes, but they passed the 'hollow knock' test so I took them out. They seem a little too moist and dense. Probably just my oven, or maybe the water wasn't supposed to stay in the whole time. Either way, I made honey butter to go with them, and have already eaten one and had one mail-order request haha. Absolutely great!!! I will make another batch soon with full size loaf pans.

Excellent recipe! I handmade the bread myself. The bread turned out great! Only thing I would add is a eggwash on top when baking so that the color is nicer. Thanks for sharing

Flavor is definitely yummy but the original recipe is too heavy/dense. I followed the recipe to a T and it left dense compacted unbaked dough on the base. Definitely add more yeast or flour next time and bake a bit longer covered to avoid overbrowning but baking through.

This bread is truly amazing. It is very moist and has a great light honey flavor. I didn't measure flour, I just added to the dough looked right. I also used half whole wheat and half regular flour. I have made lots of bread recipes and this is one of the best!

I made this in my Kitchenaid and it turned out really well, with a couple of minor changes. I didn't have any honey, so I used an equal amount of brown sugar. I also found that it needed at least 2 more cups of bread flour than indicated in the recipe.

This recipe produces excellent bread with a few changes! As some other reviewer I also found that with the fluid-flour ratio as stated in the recipe the dough turns out very sticky... I needed to use 3 more cups of flour in oder to get a workable dough. Also I used half wholemeal half plain bread flour and it tastes great. Definitely worth the 4 hours!

This is so good. I make the dough in my bread machine and then do the rest as directed. I've taken theis to friends with soup and get asked for the recipe every time.

This bread is delicious, my husband was skeptical but loved it in the end. He came running upstairs with a piece for me to taste when it was ready. The only thing I did differently was change one of the cups of bread flour to wheat flour, next time I'll do half & half. This bread reminds me of fall because of the slight sweetness from the honey and it hardiness. Yum.
