3 to 3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 package regular or quick active dry yeast
1 cup very warm water (120 - 130 degrees)
1 large egg
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
Quick-cooking oats
Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup oats, the salt, honey, mustard, margarine and yeast in large bowl. Add 1 cup warm water. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Beat in egg. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make dough easy to handle.

Punch down dough. Shape dough into a ball. Place in pie plate; flatten slightly. Mix egg white and 1 tablespoon water; brush on loaf. Sprinkle with oats. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 to 60 minutes or until double.
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Bake about 25-35 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped and is deep golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack; cool.
