Instructions
Dough
  1. Add honey to the water. Warm (~95°F, 35°C). Stir (This makes it easy to pour).
  2. Place yeast in mixing bowl. Add water/honey.
  3. Melt butter.
  4. Combine all of the ingredients, and mix until cohesive.
  5. Cling wrap the bowl.
  6. Rest the dough 20 minutes, to give the oats a chance to absorb some of the liquid.
Knead
  1. Knead 8-10 minutes to a smooth, soft, elastic dough.
  2. Cling wrap.
  3. Ferment 1 to 1½ hours, until it's risen noticeably. It may not double in bulk. Ripe Test
Form
  1. Punch down and shape into a log. Place the log in a lightly greased pan, pressing it gently to flatten.
  2. Pullman: Place the lid on the pan (or cover with plastic wrap, for a better view), and let the dough rise until it's about 1" from the top of the lid. Remove the plastic, slide the pan's lid completely closed.
  3. Proof 60-90 minutes.
