Easy Quick Bread

Ingredients:
water, bottled, generic
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
honey
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
oats
salt, table
butter, without salt

Directions:
In a medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast onto the warm water and stir until the yeast dissolves.
Stir in the honey and set aside for a few minutes, until the yeast blooms and swells a bit - 5 - 10 minutes.
In the meantime, mix the flours, oats, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir very well.
Brush a 8-cup loaf pan generously with some of the melted butter.
Turn the dough into the tin, cover with a clean, slightly damp cloth, and set in a warm place for 30 minutes, to rise.
Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C, with a rack in the middle.
When ready, bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, until golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan.
I finish things up by leaving the bread under the broiler for just a heartbeat - to give the top a bit deeper color.
Remove from oven, and turn the bread out of the pan quickly.
Let it cool on a rack so it doesn't steam in the pan.
Serve warm, slathered with butter.
Makes 1 loaf.
