Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2.5 cups Bread flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Measure all the ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature (except for the water, which should be warm).

Step 2

Open your bread machine and add the ingredients in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means adding the warm water first, followed by olive oil, honey, bread flour, rolled oats, and salt, ensuring the salt does not directly touch the yeast.

Step 3

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast to this well.

Step 4

Close the bread machine lid and set it to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting. Select the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark).

Step 5

If your bread machine signals for additional ingredients during the kneading phase, wait for the signal and then add the chopped walnuts.

Step 6

Allow the bread machine to complete the full cycle, which typically includes kneading, rising, and baking.

Step 7

When the bread is done, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts (it will be hot). Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes.

Step 8

Invert the bread pan to release the loaf onto a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool completely on the rack before slicing to prevent excess crumbling.

Step 9

Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container or bread bag for up to 3 days.
