Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, pour boiling water over oats and let stand for about 1/2 hour.

Step 2

Sprinkle yeast and 1 tsp sugar into warm water; let stand 10 minutes and stir.

Step 3

Add molasses, sugar, salt and butter to the cooled oatmeal; blend well.

Step 4

Stir in dissolved yeast.

Step 5

Add enough flour to make a soft dough.

Step 6

Turn out onto floured board and knead until smooth and elastic; about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Place in greased bowl; turn to grease top.

Step 8

Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until double; about 1 hour.

Step 9

Punch down and knead lightly for 2 minutes.

Step 10

Divide dough in half and shape into loaves; place in greased pans.

Step 11

Cover and let rise until double.

Step 12

Bake at 400F for 45 - 55 minutes.

Note * If bread darkens too much for your liking while baking - cover with a piece of tin foil, shiny side up; this will keep it from darkening any further.

Wonderful hearty bread. I used half white and half whole wheat bread and it tastes great. I made 3 loaves (1 regular size, 1 medium and 1 mini loaves). Very good bread which we enjoyed!

I also halved the recipe for one loaf. Great, hearty bread. Went really well with a pureed carrot soup. I also experimented a bit. I had some rye flakes, which looks like oats but a little stronger flavor. Worked great.
