Sweet Breads With Oat Crumbs

I like to make bread for dinner or sometimes with a crunchy topping is well served at breakfast. The oatmeal topping in this recipe adds extra crunchiness that will melt in your mouth.
Ingredients:
The dough
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs shortening
1 tbs chia seeds gel
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tsp active bread machine yeast
The topping
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 tbs all-purpose flour
3 tbs dark brown sugar
1 tbs white sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup soft butter

Directions:
All the ingredients must be at room temperature. Add dough ingredients into the pan of a bread machine in the order listed above. Select the dough setting and press start. After the kneading cycle, let dough rise in the machine. Remove dough from the machine and punch the dough down to remove some air. Let dough rest for 5 minutes before hand-shaping.

Preparing the topping: In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine all the topping ingredients. Mix well. With a fork, cut butter into pea-size pellets. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Place dough in a lightly buttered 9 inch square baking pan. Using the fingertips, gently press the dough to spread it evenly to cover the bottom. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth. Let rise until double in size.

Preheat oven to 350 °. Make light indentations with fingertips on the surface of risen dough.




Sprinkle evenly the topping over dough. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is lightly browned .


Remove from oven and cool on wire rack completely before cutting into 9 equal squares.
