Ingredients

3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Old-fashioned Rolled Oats (plus more for topping)
2 tablespoons Unsalted bButter (room temperature)
1 ¾ teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Honey
3 teaspoons Instant Yeast
1 ¼ cup (lukewarm) Milk
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Water

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the flour, oats, butter, salt, honey, yeast, and milk. Mix with the paddle attachment at low speed until the ingredients combine to form a shaggy dough.
Scrape down the paddle and the bowl and switch to the dough hook. Knead on medium-low speed for 5-7 minutes, until a relatively soft, mildly sticky dough forms. Remove the dough to an oiled bowl and cover. Let sit in a warm place for 1-1 ½ hours, until it has doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and on a lightly floured surface form the dough into a loaf about 8 inches long. Place into a greased 9x5 inch bread pan.
In a small bowl mix together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush it over the top of the loaf and sprinkle lightly with rolled oats. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set in a warm place to rise for 1-1 ½ hours, until the loaf has crested the pan by about 1 inch.
When the loaf is nearly done rising, begin preheating the oven to 350°. When the oven is ready, bake the loaf for 35-40 minutes, until the top of the bread is golden brown and the center of the bread reads 200° on a thermometer.
Let the loaf cool for 15 minutes in the pan before turning it out onto a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.
