In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is activated.
Add the rolled oats and olive oil to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover it again with the damp towel and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
Preheat your oven to 190Β°C (375Β°F).
Once the dough has risen, brush the top with a little water and sprinkle the additional oats for topping.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve once cooled. Enjoy your homemade oats bread with your favorite toppings or on its own!
