Equipment

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups warm water 105-110°F
3/4 cup honey
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 large eggs room temperature
1/2 cup butter softened
1 tablespoon salt
7 1/2 to 8 cups freshly milled hard white wheat flour

Topping

1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats

Instructions

Add the warm water, honey, and old-fashioned oats to the bowl of a Bosch mixer. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the oats slightly. 2 1/2 cups warm water,3/4 cup honey,1 cup old-fashioned oats.
Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let stand for another 5 minutes. 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon active dry yeast.
Add the eggs, butter, salt, and 4 cups of freshly milled flour. Mix on low speed, then gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. 2 large eggs,1/2 cup butter,1 tablespoon salt,7 1/2 to 8 cups freshly milled hard white wheat flour.
Let the dough rest for 12 to 15 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
Cover and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans. Divide the dough evenly between the pans and shape into loaves.
Cover and let rise until the dough is about 1 inch above the rim of the pans, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Stir together the milk and honey. Brush over the tops of the loaves and sprinkle with oats. 1 tablespoon milk,1 tablespoon honey,1/4 cup old-fashioned oats.
Bake at 350°F for 32 to 38 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

If using 8x4-inch loaf pans, divide the dough into thirds and use 3 pans.
