• Pour warm water into the reserved sugar in the small cup; add yeast.
• Pour bread flour atop the oat mixture. Pour yeast mixture over the flour.

• Grease 2 bread pans.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down dough, but do not knead. Separate into two loaves and place in prepared pans; cover each with a damp towel and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
