Oatmeal Loaf

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• Melted butter
• Additional oats

1. In a large bowl, combine boiling water and oats; let stand until warm (110u0b0-115u0b0). In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; add to oat mixture. Add honey, butter, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch the dough down. Shape into a loaf; place in a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with oats. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Bake 50-55 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
