How to Make Steel Cut Oat Bread

  1. Combine steel-cut oats and boiling water in a bowl; let stand for at least 30 minutes to soften.
  2. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add softened oat mixture, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
