Honey Oat Quick Bread
1 cup oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1 egg
1 1/3 cups milk + 1 TBSP lemon juice {or 1 1/3 cups buttermilk}
1/4 cup dough enhancer
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray cooking spray on a baking sheet.
Mix together: oats, flours, honey, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in butter using 2 knives or with a pastry cutter.
Beat egg in with the milk. Slowly add to the dry mixture, mixing while adding.
Once the dough is well mixed, turn it out onto a counter top with flour. Sprinkle more flour on top. Knead dough lightly, until you've managed to shape it into a nice circle. {About 7" in diameter} The dough is sticky, so you don't want to knead it a ton or you'll have to keep adding flour, which will dry out the bread. This whole process of kneading and shaping shouldn't take more than a couple minutes.
Transfer bread to the cookie sheet. Cut 2 quick lines in the top of the bread in an X shape. Brush bread with a little milk and sprinkle with additional oats.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I know 35 to 50 minutes is quite the spread and the time it requires to bake really depends on the shape. My loaf was a smaller in diameter circle, so it took the full 50 minutes to cook. If you want it to cook in less time, shape the dough into more of a loaf- longer instead of taller and it will cook faster.
