Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c water
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp salt
1 c rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c bread flour
3 Tbsp milk, nonfat, dry
1 egg (optional)
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans
1 Tbsp gluten (optional)
I SOMETIMES ADD A TABLESPOON OF FLAX OR HEMP.

Steps:

1. Put ingredients except walnuts in breadmaker according to the manufacturers instructions. This makes a 1 1/2 lb loaf. Use whole wheat setting.
2. At the beep add the walnuts.
3. After baking remove from pan and cool before slicing.
4. Note:I usually use the dough cycle and form the bread into one medium loaf and a couple of little loaves. Let them rise until doubled in size (about 30 - 40 minutes). Then bake them in the oven at 375 degrees F. for 45 minutes for the larger loaf and 30 minutes for the little ones. I prefer to test them with an instant-read thermometer. Internal temperature should be 200 degrees F.
