In microwaveable bowl, combine 1/2 cup oats with 1 cup water. Microwave 1 minute. Stir, then microwave 30 sec more. Cover bowl with small plate, let stand to cool. Alternatively, if you are having oatmeal for breakfast the day you are going to make the bread, make an extra 1/2 cup and save. Third option is to just stir the oats and water in step 4. Mix in large lidded bowl: 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups whole wheat flour 1 Tbsp yeast 1.5 tsp salt Fill 1 cup glass measuring cup with cold tap water. Add as much as needed to bring oatmeal temp down to 32 - 36 degrees C. Microwave any remaining water to same tepid temperature. Add watered oatmeal and any remaining water to flour mixture. Stir to produce a fairly stiff dough, then knead a little bit to bring bread together. Cover bowl and set aside overnight or for 8 hours. If leaving for more than 24 hours, put in fridge.
