Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes until the oats absorb the water.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, honey, butter, and salt until the butter is melted. Allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked oats, the lukewarm milk mixture, and the yeast mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to the bowl, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with a stand mixer for 5–7 minutes on medium speed.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise for 30–40 minutes, or until it rises about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Before baking, lightly brush the top of the dough with water and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of rolled oats.

Step 11

Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
