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.
