• Step 1

  Wake up your yeast in 1 cup of lukewarm/warm water.

• Step 2

  Add 2 tablespoons honey. stir.

• 

  Step 3

  add 1 teaspoon salt. add 1 cup flour.

• 

  Step 4

  mix 1 tablespoon wheat gluten with some water (runny consistency) and add 1 tablespoon honey. THIS STEP OPTIONAL!!! I wanted wheaty bread. Also, I like honey, so this can be adjusted to taste.

• 

  Step 5

  crush oats. We just eyeballed it. if you like oats then add more, if not add less. I think this was a handful. <<<not really helpful, I know. Sorry!

• 

  Step 6

  add crushed oats and some more honey if you want. Then, continue adding flour until it is kind of hard to stir, like putty.

• 

  Step 7

  Now, you have to beat it to build up the gluten. This will take a good 10 mins. BEAT VIGOROUSLY.

• 

  Step 8

  Keep beating...

• 

  Step 9

  Don't stop yet...

• 

  Step 10

  arms tired? mine were. Lol. okay, now add flour until it balls up/ is impossible to stir. but not too dry.

• 

  Step 11

  plop it out onto a floured surface and knead. for like. 10-15 mins.

• 

  Step 12

  keep going, you can do it!

• 

  Step 13

  knead until smooth and not sticky, but not dry. smooth.

• 

  Step 14

  butter your bowl.

• 

  Step 15

  place dough ball in bowl and roll around to coat with butter.

• 

  Step 16

  Let sit in a warm place for an hour or so. it will double/triple in size. NOTE: the oven isn't on exactly. This day it was -2 F degrees outside so the inside was cold too.

• 

  Step 17

  <<<should look like this.

• 

  Step 18

  dump back on clean surface and be sad that it deflated. I was. I think it is really cool when it is all puffy. Oh, and don't worry about the 'skin'. It is like the skin on pudding and will disappear during the next step.

• 

  Step 19

  knead for ~10mins again.

• 

  Step 20

  I chose to break my dough into three balls but this is not entirely needed.

• 

  Step 21

  form balls by folding the edges under. set on cooking tray and cut shallow hash marks into top. I say shallow because they will puff up during the next step.

• 

  Step 22

  set in a warm place to rise again.

• 

  Step 23

  while they are sitting, you can add oats to the top by lightly/dry brushing the tops with water and sprinkling the oats.

• 

  Step 24

  bake at 375F for 20-25 mins. depending on the honey content keep your eye on it so the sugar doesn't cause a fire.

• 

  Step 25

  Cat Approved.
