Recipe 1: Classic Honey Oat Bread Subway
Ingredients:
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F – 115°F)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and rolled oats.
- In a separate bowl, combine the honey and warm water. Add the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until it’s frothy.
- Add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and salt to the flour mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a 12-inch loaf, and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover it with a damp towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions:
This honey oat bread subway is perfect for making sandwiches, especially with fillings like turkey, avocado, and lettuce. It’s also delicious toasted with a bit of butter or jam for breakfast.
Variations:
For a slightly sweeter bread, you can increase the amount of honey to 1/3 cup. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or raisins to the dough for a bit of crunch and sweetness.
Substitutions:
If you don’t have bread flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead, but your bread may not be as fluffy. You can also substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter or coconut oil.
Storage:
Store the honey oat bread subway in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Make sure your yeast is fresh and not expired. Otherwise, your bread won’t rise properly.
- Use warm water that’s between 110°F – 115°F. Water that’s too hot can kill the yeast, and water that’s too cold won’t activate the yeast.
- If you don’t have a loaf pan, you can shape the dough into a round or oval shape and bake it on a baking sheet.
Notes:
This recipe makes one 12-inch loaf of honey oat bread subway.
