Equipment
- Loaf Pan

Ingredients
- 1½ cups water lukewarm
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water, instant yeast, and honey. Stir until dissolved and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, oats, and salt.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and add olive oil. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
