List of Ingredients



• 1¾ cups warm water (105° to 110° F)
  
• 1 Tbsp dry yeast
  
• ¾ cup quick-cooking oats
  
• 1/3 cup honey
  
• 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  
• 2½ tsp salt
  
• 5 cups (about) all-purpose flour
  
• 1 large egg, beaten to blend
  
• Additional quick-cooking oats
  






Instructions



1. Stir ¼ cup warm water and yeast in large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to dissolve yeast.
   Stir in remaining 1½ cups water, ¾ cup oats, honey, oil and salt. Stir in enough flour to form soft dough. Coat another large bowl with oil. Transfer dough to oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, then kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
   
   
2. Oil two 8½ x 4½ x 2½-inch loaf pans.
   Punch down dough; shape into two loaves. Place one loaf in each pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, about 20 minutes.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   Brush tops of loaves with egg; sprinkle with additional oats. Bake until brown on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool completely.
   
   Makes 2 small loaves.
