1/4 cup date molasses or honey
1/4 cup oil.
2 cup water or as needed.
2 teaspoons salt.
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast.

1) Put the oats, oat bran & water together in a saucepan and set the heat to medium high , continue to stir until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes or so. When the mixture thickens, remove from heat, stir in date molasses & oil, and let it cool to room temperature.

2) Place all ingredients in the bowl of mixer; beat 10 minutes to make soft dough.

3) Cover dough and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 60-90 minutes.



For Bread:

Shape into loaf, cover; let it rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 40-60 minutes.
Bake at 350 F for 30-40 minutes.



For Rolls:



Divide dough into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, take one piece of dough and shape it into your favorites shape.


Place the rolls on a baking sheet, brush the top with milk, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.



Cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes.

Bake at 350 F, for 20-25 minutes or until browned.



For Feta Cheese & Zaatar breakfast Rolls:


Roll the dough into rectangle. Fill with 1/2 cup Feta Cheese or more, sprinkle with Zaatar & a drizzle of olive oil.



Roll up from the long side and seal well. Cut into 12 even slices.

Place the slices on a baking sheet.



Cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes.

I would really love to make this bread, the zataar rolls but here where I live none of the ingredients can be found. Can you suggest another recipe using just whole wheat flour that I could use for the rolls plz? thanks so much, love your blog!

Arabic Bites said...

Heni,
you can try it with 10 minutes dough (well work so good)
Hope this help :)

Unknown said...

Dear friend,
after a lot of search I came across this wonderful recipe.
I have a doubt ... sort of confused.

When you put the dough in the oven, do you put on a Baking Stone or just put the dough in the Loaf Pan and proceed.

Also, should we fill water in the broiler tray while making this bread.

I sincerely hope you would reply to this doubts.

Best regards.

Arabic Bites said...

here's,
No I didn't used Baking Stone or water in the broiler tray while making this bread.

you just need to Shape the dough into loaf,put it in the Loaf Pan, cover let it rise in warm place until doubled in size or for about 40-60 minutes then bake it.
