Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• ⅓ cup butter
• ½ cup honey
• 2 cup boiling water
• 1 tbsp. salt
• 2 tbsp. yeast
• 3 eggs, divided
• 6¼ - 7¼ cup flour

Directions

• Combine oats, butter, boiling water, and salt. Cool to lukewarm (takes about 30-45 minutes).
• Stir in yeast. Add 2 eggs, honey, and 3 cups flour. Beat at medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. I just use my dough hook for this.
• With dough hook still on, add remaining flour until dough is smooth and clears the side of the bowl while mixing. The dough should be easy too handle and not too sticky to the touch. Knead about 8-10 minutes with dough hook.
• Place in greased bowl, and turn dough over so it is greased on all sides. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 60-90 minutes.
• Divide into two even balls and shape into two 5½ X 9 inch greased bread pans. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 60 minutes.
• In a small bowl whisk an additional egg with 1 tbsp. water. Brush over loaves and sprinkle with whole oats. Bake at 350ºF for 25-35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans immediately and cool.
