Step 3
Knead for 2 to 3 min. on a floured surface or until dough comes together into a smooth and elastic ball. Shape into a 6-inch (15 cm) round, place on parchment-paper lined baking sheet then brush with remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with remaining oats. With a sharp knife, cut an1/2-inch (1 cm) deep “X” into the top of the round.
Step 4
Bake for 40 to 50 min. until golden brown and skewer inserted into centre of bread comes out clean and sounds hollow when tapping bottom of bread. Cool for 30 min.
