Ingredients

2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup butter
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 packages active dry yeast
1 egg
5 1/2 - 6 1/2 cups bread flour

Directions

1. In large mixer bowl, combine boiling water, oats, honey, butter and salt. Allow to stand for 1 hour.
2. In a small bowl, stir together warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir in yeast and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
3. Add egg to oat mixture and beat in. Add yeast mixture and 4 cups flour. Mix at low speed, using dough hook attachment, for about 2 minutes, until dough forms a ball and pulls away from sides of bowl. During this time, gradually add enough additional flour to form a soft dough. Knead on low speed for about 2 minutes more.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn over to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
5. Punch down dough and divide into 2 pieces. Form each into a loaf. Place in greased 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ loaf pans.   Cover and let rise until doubled in volume - about 40 -60 minutes.
6. Bake at 375 degrees F. for about 30 minutes, until tops are golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove immediately from pans and cool on wire rack.
