Put the cereal in a bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let soak for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
Whisk the flours together in a separate bowl.
Pour cereal mix, honey, butter and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer and combine on low.
Add flour mix 1/2 cup at a time until fully incorporated.
Add salt and seeds if you are using them (which you should, it really adds to the bread).
Mix 3-4 minutes until the dough no longer sticks to sides. (add a bit more flour if it is still too sticky)
Transfer to an oiled and floured bowl and let rise, covered, for about an hour. Dough should double in size.
Grease 2 9x5 loaf pans.
Punch down the dough and split in half. Form each half into a loaf shape.
Spray or brush the tops with oil or water. Roll in the oats to cover top.
Place each loaf in a pan and let rise again for about 40 minutes. Dough should about double again to fill the loaf pans. Half way through rising preheat your oven to 375F.
Bake for 40 minutes.
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes and then transfer to cooling rack. Let cool as long as you can stand!
