Soft and Fluffy Sandwich Bread (vegan)

boiling water

old-fashioned whole rolled oats (not quick cook or instant)

all-purpose flour (bread flour may be used and will create a heartier, chewier bread)

water (from the tap, not hot and not cold)

to 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

light brown sugar, packed

instant dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce packet, I use Red Star Platinum)

teaspoon salt, or to taste
