Method:
Grind the oats in a food processor for 30 seconds.
Combine oats with rest of the ingredients for the dough in the bowl of the stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Mix and knead until a smooth, soft dough is formed.
Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1~2 hours or until doubled in volume.
Gently deflate the dough and roll it into a 9" log. Place it into a lightly greased 9"x5" loaf pan and press gently to fill the pan. Cover lightly and let rise for 1½~2½ hours.
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the bread for 40~45 minutes. Tent the bread loosely with foil after 15~20 minutes. Once done, bread should be golden brown and register 190°F internal temperature.
In the meantime, combine the melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl.
Remove bread from the oven and let cool for 1~2minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and brush with the glaze.
Cool completely before slicing.
