Ingredients

1 1/2 c boiling water .
2 tsps salt .
1 tbsp brown sugar .
1/2 c raisins .
2 eggs, room temperature .
2 tbsps cinnamon .
1 (1/4 oz) package yeast .
3 tbsps butter .
3 tbsps butter, melted .
1 1/2 c rolled oats .
3 tbsps honey .
1 c sugar .
4-5 c flour, approximately

Directions

Step #1 Prepare 2 medium loaf pans (greased or non-stick).
Step #2 In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats & boiling water.
Step #3 Stir to mix & add the butter, honey, brown sugar, salt & raisins.
Step #4 Let the mixture cool to no more than 130 degrees.
Step #5 Add the yeast.
Step #6 Add the eggs & two c flour.
Step #7 With a wooden spoon or the mixer flat beater, stir vigorously for 2-3 mins.
Step #8 Work in extra flour, with the spoon first, 1/2 c at a time, then with your hands - or dough hook, if you are using a mixer.
Step #9 The dough will become a soft mass that can be picked up & placed on the work surface, or left under the hook.
Step #10 Knead with a strong push-turn-fold rhythm, adding flour if the dough is slack or wet & sticky.
Step #11 Knead for 8 mins, or until the dough is soft & elastic.
Step #12 If under the dough hook in the mixer, add sprinkles of flour if the dough should cling to the sides of the bowl.
Step #13 First rising:.
Step #14 Place the dough in a buttered bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel & put the dough aside to rise at about room temp until double in bulk (about one hr - or shorter if using rapid-rise yeast).
Step #15 Shaping:.
Step #16 Turn the dough out of the bowl & divide into 2 pieces.
Step #17 With the hands & a rolling pin, shape each piece into a rectangle about 8 inches wide & 12 inches long.
Step #18 Butter the dough & sprinkle on the sugar & cinnamon.
Step #19 Roll up the dough as for a jelly roll, & press the seams securely together.
Step #20 Drop each into a pan, seam down, & push into the corners & ends with your fingers.
Step #21 Second rising:.
Step #22 Cover up the pans with wax paper & put aside to rise till the center of the dough rises above the edge of the pan (about 45 mins - less if using rapid-rise yeast).
Step #23 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 20 mins before baking.
Step #24 Bake on the middle rack of the oven till the crusts are nicely browned, about 40 mins.
Step #25 (I always check sooner than that to make sure they don't overbake).
Step #26 The bottom crust may be sticky with the melted sugar (which will harden as the loaf cools), but tap the crust to make certain it sounds hard & hollow.
Step #27 When the loaves come out of the oven, brush with melted butter & turn out onto a metal rack to cool before serving.
