• ¾ cups Rolled Oats
• 2¾ tsp Instant yeast
• 1½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup Warm water
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• ¾ cup honey
• 3 tbsp honey, warmed slightly
• 2 tbsp additional Rolled Oats for the top

Method

1. In your stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl, combine the Oats, Flour, Yeast and Salt.
2. Heat your milk and butter until melted. Allow to cool until warm. Then stir in the honey and water.
3. Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture until it comes together to form a dough. Knead by hand or with a dough hook on your mixer for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place your dough in a oiled bowl. Cover and let rise until double in size (45 minutes to an hour).
5. Shape your loaf and place it into a loaf pan. cover with a towel and allow to rise until doubled.
6. Preheat oven to 175°C. Add an empty pot or pan to the lower rack to heat up. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and add to pan.
7. When your loaf is raised to double the size, heat up your honey and spread a nice layer over the top. Sprinkle oats on top.
8. Bake in oven for 40-50 minutes until the bread is a nice dark golden brown.
