1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, plus 2 Tbspns for sprinkling
1 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
2/3 cup warm (110F)milk
1/4-1/2 cup warm water
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine yeast, sugar, 1 cup flour, and milk. Cover bowl with a towel ;let yeast mixture rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Using a food processor, grind oats into a fine flour. Add sea salt and remaining 2 cups flour; pulse to combine. With motor running, add yeast mixture, egg yolks, and olive oil. Drizzle in water until dough forms.
Remove dough and knead on a lightly floured surface until supple, about four minutes. Place in a large, well-oiled bowl, turning dough to coat with oil.
Cover bowl with a towel; let dough rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 F. Punch down dough and knead for 1 minute. Divide into 4 equal portions; shape into loaves to fit into 5 3/4-by 3 1/4 by 2-inch pans.
Cover pans with a towel for 20 minutes. Place loaves on baking sheet, lightly brush tops with egg white, and sprinkle with remaining oats. Bake until golden, 25 minutes. Cool completely.
