Ingredients

• 1 ⅛ cups water
• 0.3333333333333333 cup honey
• 1 ½ tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon dry milk powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 cups whole wheat flour, or more if needed
• 0.25 cup rolled oats, or as needed

Steps

1. Place water in a 2-cup or larger glass measuring cup and microwave on high until warm to the touch, but not too hot, about 45 seconds. Add honey, oil, milk powder, salt, and yeast; stir with a fork until combined. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
2. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix on low speed until combined. Increase to a higher speed and mix until a nice dough forms, adding additional flour if necessary.
3. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead into a ball. Pour oats on the work surface and roll the dough in the oats. Place dough onto a narrow, rectangular piece of parchment paper. Transfer parchment paper and dough into a slow cooker.
4. Cover and cook on High until bread has cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours.
