• In a small bowl, combine the boiling water, butter, salt and sugar. Stir in oats; cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in the molasses, brown sugar and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in oat mixture and enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. , Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook potato in enough water to cover.
• Drain, retaining the water.
• Measure 140 ml of potato water into a small bowl and set aside to cool to lukewarm. Don't discard the rest of the potato water - to this add the oats to soften.
• Mash the potato well with a little of the milk.
• When the potato water in the small bowl has cooled to lukewarm, add the yeast. Set this aside until it has a good frothy "head".
• Mix remainder of milk and oil together.
• Sift flour and salt into large bowl and make a well in centre.
• Add the milk and oil, the mashed potato, frothy yeast, and the softened oats.
• Mix well and knead until smooth and elastic - more flour may be needed but try to keep the dough as soft as possible.
• Set aside to rise until double in size.
• Knock back and knead very lightly.
• Allow to rise a further 30 minutes and then divide into three and form into cob loaves.
• Glaze with beaten egg and sprinkle with your choice of topping. I use either sesame seeds, poppy seeds or oats.
• Bake 220 celsius for about 40 minutes.
