Ingredients
•
1 1/8 cups water
•
1/3 cup honey
•
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
•
1 tablespoon dry milk powder
•
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
•
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
•
3 cups whole wheat flour, or more if needed
•
1/4 cup rolled oats, or as needed
Directions
1
Place water in a 2-cup or larger glass measuring cup and microwave on high until warm to the touch, but not too hot, about 45 seconds. Add honey, oil, milk powder, salt, and yeast; stir with a fork until combined. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
2
Add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low speed until combined. Increase to a higher speed and mix until a nice dough forms, adding additional flour if necessary.
3
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead into a ball. Pour oats on the work surface and roll the dough in the oats. Place dough onto a narrow, rectangular piece of parchment paper. Transfer parchment paper and dough into a slow cooker.
4
Cover and cook on High until bread has cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours.
