This recipe meets the three most important requirements I have for a recipe: easy, healthy, and kid approved! A woman my husband knows shared the directions for this moist, multi-grain bread with us.—Lisa Bedord, Power, Montana

Ingredients

1/2 cup water
6-1/2 teaspoons butter, divided
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
1 egg
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1-1/4 to 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring water and 4-1/2 teaspoons butter just to a boil. In a small bowl, pour boiling liquid over oats. Add the applesauce, honey and salt. Let stand until mixture cools to 110°-115°, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oatmeal mixture, egg, whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Shape into an 8-in. round loaf on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Melt remaining butter; brush over loaf. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
