Provided by Leslie Vaughn

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 3h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
4 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons honey, warmed slightly
2 tablespoons rolled oats

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine boiling water, oats, 1/2 cup honey, butter and salt. Let stand for 1 hour.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour the yeast mixture into the oat mixture. Add 2 cups of flour; mix well. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 20 minutes.
