1. Pour the boiling water over the oats and let stand 20 minutes, until lukewarm.
2. Stir in the milk, honey, melted butter, and yeast.
3. Add the flour and salt; knead 8–10 minutes by hand (or 6 minutes in a stand mixer) until smooth and slightly tacky.
4. Cover and let rise 1–1½ hours until doubled.
5. Shape into a log, place in a greased 9×5-inch pan, brush the top with water, and sprinkle with oats. Rise 45–60 minutes, until crowned 1 inch above the pan.
