Oatmeal Bread

 Oatmeal Bread is a filling, and flavorful bread topped with cheese and herbs.  The perfect side for your favorite soup recipes.

Nothing beats a loaf of homemade bread.  This Easy French bread is on repeat at our house. If you are looking for super easy try this No Knead Bread and the kids will love making Bread in a Bag.

Nothing goes better with a pot of soup than some nice warm bread.  But cold busy days require and easy and delicious bread recipe like this herbed oatmeal bread.  It is one of our favorite bread recipes and my favorite thing to serve with soup.

How to Make Oatmeal Bread

Thanks to the oatmeal the bread has a great texture and is still nice and light.

• Combine old fashioned oats with butter and hot water to form a thick mixture.

• The oatmeal mixture is added into the dough.  Knead the dough until is is smooth and elastic.    Place dough into a greased 9 x 13 pan and score the dough with a knife, cut all the way through the dough to the bottom of the pan, forming a diamond shape in the dough.

• Cover loosely with a towel and allow it to rise.  After it has risen, redefine the cuts by cutting through them a second time.  Do not pull the knife through the dough, use an up and down motion.
• Brush dough with 4 Tablespoons of melted butter.

• Bake bread in a 375 degree F oven for 15 minutes.  Remove bread and brush with remaining melted butter.  Sprinkle with herb and cheese mixture.

• Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

My favorite part is the yummy cheese and herb topping!

This oatmeal bread is always a favorite at our house. Although we love serving it with soup it is perfect with just about everything!
