Ingredients:

​- 2 cups boiling water
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup uncooked rolled oats
- 2 1/4 tsp dry yeast
- 1/4 cup luke warm water
- 4 1/2-5 cups flour

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. If necessary, add enough flour to keep the dough from being too sticky. Place in a greased bowl, turn to coat the top, and cover with a towel or damp cloth.

4. Bake at 350F/180C for 40-50 minutes. Tops should be well browned and bottoms should sound hollow when rapped with the knuckles.
