so i decided to make some more cheese yesterday, but I was all out of milk, so i made the gauntlet run out to the farm again, by now the ice had melted and the roads were turning into mud runs, rinkus told me to stop being a sally, his wife drives out there everyday
so when I got home I threw some raw milk in a jar
and started shaking, after 15 minutes I had some good seperation
I took my hacked cheese cloth and draped it into another mason jar
I slowly poured the butter jar into the sitting jar and strained out the butter
I ran some cold water over the butter and wrapped it up and stuck it into the fridge
I put a lid on the buttermilk and stuck that into the fridge to make some buttermlk biscuits with tomorrow
and grabbed my ingredients to make my dough

In a mixing bowl I dumped 3 cups of flour, 3/4 cups of oats, 2 tablespoons of yeast and 1.5 teaspoons of salt
and mixed it well
at the same time I had milk on to make cheese
so i grabbed a cup of warm milk out of the pot
and dumped the fresh butter into it
I stirred for a few minutes to melt the butter
and then stirred in a 1/4 cup of warm water and a 1/4 cup of honey
I dumped the milk mixture into the dry mix
I mixed for a couple minutes until the dough started to stiffen up
and started kneading the dough in the bowl for 10 minutes
the cheese had finished boiling so I set the dough on the pot to proof
remember I said how big the curds were with raw milk? The cheese came out in one big lump

after letting the dough proof for a little over a hour, it had doubled in size
so I dumped it onto a cutting board
using the bread pan as a guide, I formed a 9x12 rectangle, my daughter wasn't fast enough!
I rolled the dough up into a loaf, tucking the ends as I went
and oiled up the bread pan and set the dough into the pan
the pan set perfectly into the pan and I covered it with a towel to proof for another hour
I pulled the pan off
and set a pan with a couple inches of water on the bottom rack and started preheating the oven to 350
I brushed the dough with honey and sprinkled it with oats
and baked it for 45 minutes
it was awesome

Yes, It looks like I need to find someplace to get raw milk. Unfortunatley, here by law everything has to be pasturized.

if you are wanting to make butter, you can just use store bought heavy whipping cream, it will work fine
