Maple Oat Bread with Cinnamon Swirl

Author: Toni Anderson

Ingredients

Bread Dough

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons lukewarm water
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats ground to a powder (use a blender or food processor)
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon gluten
  • 1 teaspoon orange juice
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt

Swirl

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • cinnamon

Instructions

  • Combine all the dough ingredients.
  • Knead until the dough is soft.
  • Let rise until the dough has doubled.
  • Once the dough has risen, roll out as thin as possible. The thinner the dough, the more swirls.
  • Melt the butter and mix with brown sugar.
  • Spread on the bread dough.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Roll up, like a cinnamon roll, making sure to seal the edges.
  • Place roll in a loaf pan making sure to tuck the ends down.
  • Let the dough rise for another 1 1/2 hours or until doubled.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. After 20 minutes tent with foil to keep the crust from burning.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

This is a heavy bread. It will not rise like a typical loaf of bread, but it should at least double in the loaf pan before baking.
