Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup warm water
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats and boiling water. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes to soften and cool slightly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water (110°F). Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened oats, dissolved yeast mixture, honey, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Stir in the melted butter to create a smooth and cohesive batter. The mixture will be thick but not as firm as traditional bread dough.

Step 6

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise for 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free spot. It should nearly double in volume.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F while the batter is rising.

Step 9

Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
