In a pot, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil then add the butter and quick oat. Stir and cook for a minute then remove from heat and let it cool.
In a stand mixer bowl, bloom the yeast with the warm water for 5 minutes. Add ~3 cups of flour, brown sugar, salt and oats. Knead for a minute or two so everything combines and add another cup of flour. Knead another 2 minutes and touch the dough, what you are looking for is a slightly sticky texture that is smooth. Add additional flour until you get that texture.
Lightly oil a bowl and put the dough in it, cover and let it rise until doubled ( ~1hour).
Punch the dough down ( yes do that exactly, this releases the gas in the dough) and let it relax for 15 minutes. It’s now time to shape the bread, you can make 16-24 pieces of bread depending on what size you desire. Grease a baking tray with olive oil and put the dough pieces on it.
If you want individual bread, allow some space between the dough. If you want a big bread with “tear apart” pieces, place them closer to each other. Let the dough rise for 40 minutes.
Bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes or until the top gets coloured. Take them out of the oven and place them on a cooling rack for ~30 minutes as the steam inside still cooks them.
