Delicious, delicious, delicious!! This is basically a light, but not white, bread with quick oats, small amount of whole wheat flour, brown sugar and honey. Rises beautifully and makes 4 full loaves. Great for toast, sandwiches, or with soup on a cold night.

When it is the proper temperature , pour it over the dry mixture in the bowl and mix well.

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead till smooth.
About 100 times.

About 1 hour.
Punch down and turn onto a floured surface.
Divide dough in fourths and shape into loaves.
