Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a large bowl, mix warm water, honey, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit until it’s foamy and frothy.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

Stir in vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and salt until dough starts coming together.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 4: First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5: Punch Down and Divide

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into desired loaf sizes.

Step 6: Shape the Loaves

Shape each piece into a log and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7: Second Rise

Cover with a towel and let them rise again until doubled, approximately 30 minutes.

Step 8: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 9: Add Topping

Before baking, sprinkle the tops with oats for that iconic look.

Step 10: Bake the Bread

Bake for 25 minutes or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 11: Cool and Serve

Let them cool on a wire rack, then slice and enjoy the warm, wheaty goodness!

Ensure the water temperature is around 110°F for optimal yeast activation.

Place the dough in a warm, draft-free area to help it rise effectively.
