Honey Oat Bread
Honey Oat Bread combines hearty oats and flour with honey and butter to create a soft, slightly sweet loaf with a tender crumb and a golden crust topped with oats. The dough is kneaded until smooth and elastic, allowed to rise twice for optimal texture, then baked to a deep golden brown for a comforting, slightly sweet bread suitable for breakfast or sandwiches.

Notes
- Test dough readiness by pressing the surface; if the indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.
- Bread is done baking when the crust is a dark golden color or internal temperature reaches 190°F.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to preserve crumb texture.
