How to make herbed oatmeal pan bread:

Herb Topping:1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese1/2 tsp. basil leaves1/4 tsp. oregano leaves1/4 tsp. garlic powder6 Tbsp. margarine or butter, melted Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan.* Bring water to a boil in medium saucepan; stir in rolled oats. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons margarine. Cool to 120° to 130°.

Lightly flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast; blend well. Add rolled oats mixture and egg. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 1 3/4 cups to 2 1/2 cups flour to form stiff dough.

On floured surface, knead in 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape dough into ball; cover with large bowl. Let rest 15 minutes. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Press into greased pan. Using very sharp knife, cut diagonal lines 1 1/2-inches apart, cutting completely through dough. Repeat in opposite direction creating diamond pattern. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel.** Let rise in warm place (80° to 85°) until light and doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Heat oven to 375°. Uncover dough. Redefine cuts by poking tip of knife into cuts until knife hits bottom of pan; do not pull knife through dough. In small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, basil leaves, oregano leaves and garlic powder; set aside. Spoon 4 tablespoons of the butter over cut dough. Bake at 375° for 15 minu
