   • Scald the milk in a saucepan, then remove from heat.
   • Stir in salt, honey, and shortening until the shortening melts.
   • Allow the mixture to cool until lukewarm.

2. Activate the Yeast:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar.
   • Sprinkle dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

3. Mixing the Dough:

   • Stir the milk mixture into the yeast mixture in the mixing bowl.
   • Add rolled oats and 2 cups of flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth and elastic.

4. Kneading the Dough:

   • Gradually add more flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms and is easy to handle.
   • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. First Rise:

   • Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours.

6. Prepare for Baking:

   • Grease two 8 x 4 x 3 inch loaf pans.
   • Punch down the risen dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead briefly.

7. Shaping and Second Rise:

   • Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf.
   • Place the shaped loaves into the prepared pans.
   • Lightly grease the tops of the loaves.

8. Final Rise:

   • Cover the pans and let the loaves rise again until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

9. Baking:

   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Bake the loaves for 35-40 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and sound hollow when tapped on top.

10. Cooling and Serving:

    • Remove the bread from the pans and cool on wire racks before slicing.
    • Enjoy warm or toasted with butter, or use for sandwiches and snacks.
