Vermont Oatmeal and Maple Bread for the Mini Zo Bread Machine

This hearty dough, bolstered with oats and walnuts and lightly sweetened with maple syrup, is the perfect candidate for a small bread machine like the "Mini Zo": The machine makes easy work out of the high-hydration dough, which is too sticky to work with by hand. The final bread is soft yet substantial, perfect for toasting, and can easily go sweet or savory depending on your toppings of choice.
