No-Knead Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups water, divided
1 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup honey
1 TBSP salt
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 large egg, room temperature
4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
Melted butter, optional

Recipe Instructions:

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup water to boiling.
Stir in the oats, butter, honey and salt.
Let stand until mixture cools to 110 degrees -115 degrees , stirring occasionally.
Heat remaining water to 110 degrees -115 degrees.

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add the egg, oat mixture and 2 cups flour.
Beat until smooth.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Do not knead.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough; divide evenly between 2 greased 8x4" loaf pans.
Smooth tops of loaves.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 35-40 minutes.
Using a sharp knife, make a shallow slash down the center of each loaf.

Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, 40-45 minutes.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
If desired, brush with melted butter.
