This I found to be a heavy type, chewy, peasant like bread.But, very tasty & filling. I have made this so many more times, some times I get a really light loaf, using the bread machine yeast. When I used the regular yeast it turned out into a heavy peasant type bread. I have also taken to sprinkling the bottom of the pans heavily...

Steps:
- 1. In med sized saucepan over high heat, bring 2c water to boiling. Gradually stir in 2c oats. Cook, stirring until thick, about 1 min. Remove pot from heat.
- 2. Add 1/4c butter, the brown sugar and the salt. Stir until butter melts. Let the oat mix cool to lukewarm.
- 3. In large mixing bowl,sprinkle yeast over warm water: stir until dissolved. Add oat mix & 3c flour, beat with a wooden spoon until smooth, about 2 mins. Using hands, gradually mix in 2c more flour, turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
