Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and buttermilk. Let it sit for 30 minutes, allowing the oats to soften.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, honey, salt, and yeast.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the oat mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
7. Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is rising.
9. Once the dough has risen, brush the top with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
