It's time for another ABC post and this October's bake is The Weekend Baker's Honey Oatmeal Bread which I really, really loved! This has got to be the best tasting honey oatmeal bread I've ever tried and I especially loved the pronounced honey flavor and sweetness in the bread given the generous 1/3 cup that's in it. I've encountered many recipes that claim to be honey breads but I always get puzzled why they would even put "honey" in the title when all they make you add is 2 tablespoons of honey at the most. I'm glad that this recipe didn't skimp on it and it was so easy to make as well. It's super delicious on its own that I never even ate it with anything else but I bet this would make excellent French toast. What I also liked about this bread is that it stayed really moist and soft throughout the 2 days it took us to finish it. I think the reason for this was the use of milk to hydrate the flour instead of water. The next time I make this I'm turning it into dinner rolls and top the surface with oatmeal flakes.
