This is a great recipe and the bread is scrumptious. I didn't have quick cooking oats so I soaked regular oats in the warm milk for a while to soften them up. I also substituted some King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour for some of the all purpose flour. I can't wait to try this as toast tomorrow morning!

I've made this bread twice now. The first time I followed the recipe exactly. It was done and out of the oven by the time I went to work, so I brought it with me. My co-workers LOVED it. I made it again today and substituted some white whole wheat flour for the A/P. Not sure if I'll have any left for tomorrow's toast!!
