Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Shape the dough into a ball.
Step 3: First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap.
Let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 4: Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and shape it into a loaf.
Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle extra oats on top and lightly press them into the dough.
Step 5: Second Rise
Cover the loaf pan and let the dough rise for another 30–45 minutes, until it puffs up.
Step 6: Bake the Bread
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
