Sew God's Grace

Here's another bread that I like to make often.  Since I use the bread machine to make the dough, it is a no-fuss recipe.   Right now I am trying to avoid dairy products to attempt to help with Grant's fussiness.  This bread contains no milk ingredients.  You can substitue sugar for the honey as well if you would prefer! Soft Oatmeal Bread 1 1/ 4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon lemon juice 3 cups flour 1 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast Place ingredients in bread pan in order suggested by the manufacturer.  Select "dough" setting.  When the cycle is complete, punch dough down.  On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 9 inch by 18 inch rectangle.  Starting with a short end, roll up the dough.  Pinch ends together to seal.  Place in a greased 9 by 5 inch bread pan.  Cover and let rise in a...

This recipe is one of our family's favorites.  I found it in a Taste of Home's Healthy Cooking Magazine.  I love the convenience of making the dough in the bread machine.  Here's the recipe: 1 1/4 cups warm water 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup quick-cooking oats 1 1/2 cups bread flour (I use all-purpose) 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast  (2 1/4 teaspoons) In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. If you have good luck baking in your bread machine, select basic bread setting, crust color, etc. and enjoy some bread in about three hours. I, however, do not have the patience to get the hang of how bread bakes in my bread machine.  My few attempts have not turned out that great, so I prefer to make the dough in the machine and then bake it in the oven.  So, select "dough" setting and wait until the dough is ready. I then form...

This is one of my favorite breads to make.  I got the recipe from my good friend Bill.  He was one of my classmates in dental school.  My husband, Matt, and I spent many an evening over at Bill and Jenn's apartment eating supper and playing board games late into the night.  At one of these get togethers, they served this bread.  I think I ate at least three pieces and later requested the recipe.  I was delighted to discover that you make the dough in the bread machine.  Here is the recipe: Oatmeal bread 1 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon hot water 3 tablespoons dry milk 2 tablespoons butter 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons honey 3 1/2 cup bread flour 3/4 cup oatmeal 1 1/2 teaspoon yeast Place ingredients into bread machine pan in order recommended by manufacture.  Select "dough" setting.  Check dough in 5 minutes.  Add 1 teaspoon water or 1 teaspoon flour if needed. Place dough on greased baking stone.  Using y...
