Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and warm water. Stir in rolled oats and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Mix in melted butter and honey, then sprinkle active dry yeast over top. Allow to activate for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Add salt and gradually stir in all-purpose flour until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead dough on a floured surface for 12-15 minutes or 8-10 minutes in a stand mixer.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Deflate the dough, divide into two portions, and shape into logs or braids.
  7. Place loaves in greased pans, cover, and allow to rise until puffy, about 45-60 minutes.
  8. Brush tops with cinnamon sugar mixture if desired, then bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes.
  9. Cool bread in pans for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
