Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey has dissolved.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough, transfer it to a floured surface, and shape it into a loaf.

Step 9

Place the shaped loaf into a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 10

Cover with the kitchen towel again and let rise for another 30 minutes or until the dough has risen above the edge of the pan.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
