Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch (23-cm) round baking dish.

4.	In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
5.	Pour the cooled oat mixture into the center of the flour mixture and stir well until the dough comes together.
6.	On a floured surface, knead dough for 10 minutes until smooth.
7.	Form dough into a ball and place in the prepared baking dish.
8.	Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size.
9.	Score the top of the dough with a cross shape, about 1/2 inch deep.
10.	Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
