Honey Oatmeal Bread
I baked my family's bread for years and have tried multiple recipes, but I always gravitate back to Honey Oatmeal Bread. So delicious!

Five loaves is a bit much for my husband and me. How could I make two?
The bread was very tasty, but there is something wrong with this recipe. Since I didn’t get a reply to my previous comment, I finally determined the weight of each ingredient by grams and divided it so I could make two loaves. There is way too much liquid in this recipe. This dough was more like biscuit dough! I ended up adding quite a bit more flour, almost 2 cups!! Is that the caveat of step #3, saying add the “desired amount” of flour? Shouldn’t the stated 8 cups be enough? I have added small amounts of flour to bread recipes so the dough can be handled and kneaded. This was not a small amount.
