Warm the milk in a small saucepan to no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C); sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit until the yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes; stir in the sugar.

Whisk the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oatmeal, and salt together in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center. Pour the milk mixture into the well; stir until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

Place the dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn it to coat. Cover with a light cloth and let it rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F/27 to 35 degrees C) until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans; set them aside.

Punch down the dough to deflate it and turn it onto a lightly floured surface; divide it into two equal pieces using a knife—do not tear it. Shape into balls and let rest for 10 minutes. Form the dough into loaves and place them in the prepared pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let them rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
