Easy Quick Bread

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast onto the warm water and stir until the yeast dissolves.

2. 2

   Stir in the honey and set aside for a few minutes, until the yeast blooms and swells a bit - 5 - 10 minutes.

3. 3

   In the meantime, mix the flours, oats, and salt in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir very well.

5. 5

   Brush a 8-cup loaf pan generously with some of the melted butter.

6. 6

   Turn the dough into the tin, cover with a clean, slightly damp cloth, and set in a warm place for 30 minutes, to rise.

7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C, with a rack in the middle.

8. 8

   When ready, bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, until golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan.

9. 9

   I finish things up by leaving the bread under the broiler for just a heartbeat - to give the top a bit deeper color.

10. 10

    Remove from oven, and turn the bread out of the pan quickly.

11. 11

    Let it cool on a rack so it doesn't steam in the pan.

12. 12

    Serve warm, slathered with butter.
