Place water, honey, and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until mixture is very warm (120°F to 130°F [48°C to 54°C]).

First place oats, then 5 cups (1.20 l) flour, salt, and yeast in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 15 seconds. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add warm mixture to flour mixture and mix about 1 minute. Add eggs and mix about 1 minute longer.

Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) at a time, and mix about 2 minutes, or until dough starts to clean sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer.

Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf as directed on page 52. Place in greased 81⁄2x41⁄2x21⁄2-inch (21x12x6-cm) baking pans. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Beat egg white and water together with a fork. Brush tops of loaves with mixture. Sprinkle with oatmeal. Bake at 375°F (191°C) for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
