Directions:
In a large bowl, pour the boiling water over the oats and butter and stir until the butter has melted. Set aside to cool.
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, then stir the dissolved yeast into the cooled oat mixture. Add the brown sugar and one cup of the flour. Beat 100 strokes. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and set it aside to rise in a warm place until the mix bubbles (about 45 min.)
Stir in the salt and the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix well. Turn the dough onto a floured suface and knead until elastic. The dough is very sticky, so try not to add too much flour and you may want to oil your hands.
Oil the bowl, and return the dough to the bowl, turn to coat the dough with oil. cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size (45 min-hour)
Punch down the dough and turn onto a lightly oiled board and cut in half, form two loaves and place them in oiled loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350. When the loaves have risen, bake them for about 40 min. or until golden.
