Great!

To die for! I usually have to tweak bread recipes to get the dough to that smooth, elastic, not too sticky stage. NOT THE CASE with this one. I followed the recipe amounts to the letter, except I was a bit shy on honey so I topped the measuring cup off with a squirt of light corn syrup. I doubled the recipe and made it by hand, no bread machine. I baked at 350 for about twenty minutes, then covered it loosely with foil to avoid a too browned crust and cooked it until it read 190 degrees internally. TO DIE FOR. Slightly sweet, a nice crunchy but not too hard crust and a moist, slightly dense (but in the most pleasant of ways... you know, it has that nice bite and chew to it, it's not all air or spongey) My new go-to Oatmeal bread recipe. For those who want to know how to make this by hand: I put the warm water in a large bowl, dissolved the yeast on top and let it sit ten minutes. I added the oil, honey, and salt. Mixed gently, added half the flour and mixed on low in my Kitchen Aid (but a wooden spoon is fine) when it was smooth I worked in the rest of the flour and let it mix on with the dough hook about ten minutes. Turned out onto the counter and kneaded by hand for a few minutes. Put in an oiled bowl and rise in a warm place until doubled. Punched down, shaped into a loaf, put in a greased pan and let rise again. Bake at 350 until internal temp reaches 190 degrees. Loosely cover with foil halfway through bake time if you want a softer/lighter crust. Heavenly.

My favorite bread machine recipe so far! It was excellent!

Worked fine for me; only changes I made were baking it in a bread pan in the oven and doing an egg wash and sprinkling oatmeal over the top before baking.

Yum!! Made this using my KitchenAid mixer and had to add a couple of tablespoons of flour.

Very good.

I made this with a stand mixer rather than a bread machine. My only other change was only using 1/8 cup of honey and that was strictly for personal taste. It rose beautifully, baked up light, fluffy, and flavor able at 350F for 35 minutes. After eating this you will never bother with store bought oat bread again. thanks, Merrilee!

I made this for the first time today and my entire family LOVED it! Lightly sweet, very tasty!! Went great with dinner. :) Thanks for the recipe!

This bread is fantastic. The texture and taste are excellent. Slightly sweet with a nice oatmeal taste. Homemade bread usually gets stale very quickly (I guess because there are no preservatives), but this bread was very fresh and delicious 3 days after I made it. A definite keeper!!

I thought this bread was very good. Following other reviewers advice, I changed the servings to 15 for my 2lb bread machine. I shouldn't have done this because it made too much bread. I followed the ingredients exactly and I didn't think that the bread was too sweet at all. I served this warm with butter and everyone loved it.
