The first step is to mix ¼ cup of honey with warm water. Then add in the yeast and stir. Allow to rest for about 15 minutes. It should get nice and foamy.

Add a tablespoon of olive oil and stir.

In a large bowl or stand mixer add oatmeal (hold back 1 tbsp of the oats), salt, and flour and mix well.

Then mix in the yeast mixture and mix well. The dough will be sticky and kinda shaggy.

Drizzle dough with olive oil and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rest and for the dough rise in a warm area.

Check the dough after about 1 hour. If doubled in size it is ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.

Pop the dutch oven in the hot oven and allow it to heat up while you shape your loaf.

Lightly flour counter or your work area. Remove dough from the bowl and lightly shape it into a ball.

Using a serrated knife, score the bread a few times on the top.

Sprinkle a tablespoon of oats over the top.

Carefully remove the dutch oven from the oven. Place your loaf of bread into the dutch oven and place the lid on it. Be careful as the dutch oven will be hot.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Mix melted butter and 2 tablespoons of honey together. At the 30 minute mark, remove the lid off the dutch oven and drizzle the honey and butter over top of the loaf.

Bake for another 15 minutes. Or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool for about 5 minutes before you remove the bread from the dutch oven.
