• Punch down the dough and using a pastry scraper, scrape it out onto a clean work surface. Cut it in half with a sharp knife or bench scraper.
• For each half, evenly flatten the dough with the heel of your hand. Roll the top third down onto itself and seal it y pushing it gently down with the heal of your hand.
• Continue rolling and sealing the dough until you have an oval log. Place the logs, into the pans.
• Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm draft free spot until the double in size, 45 - 60 minutes.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat to 375*F
• Mist the tops of the loaves with water. Sprinkle the tops with a generous handful of regular oats.

Knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if dough is too sticky, about 5 minutes. Form dough into ball. Butter large bowl; add dough, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Butter 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch down dough; turn out into floured surface and knead 3 minutes. Form into 8-inch-long loaf. Transfer to prepared pan. Cover with plastic, then towel; let rise in warm draft-free area until dough has risen about 1/2 inch above rim of pan, about 45 minutes.
