- Yields:
-
2 loaves
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 (1/4 ounce) packages dry yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄4 cup molasses
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 6 cups bread flour
directions
- Measure the water into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle on the yeast and stir to dissolve. Blend in milk and molasses. Add the oats, melted butter, salt and beaten egg. Blend thoroughly.
- Add 2 cups of flour and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Gradually blend in additional flour until the dough becomes too difficult to stir. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead in as much of the remaining flour as necessary to form a cohesive dough.
- Continue kneading in flour until the dough is soft yet no longer sticks to the work surface. Transfer to a greased bowl and cover witha clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise until double in bulk.
- Generously grease a baking sheet. Punch the dough down, then turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape it into 2 round loaves and place them on the prepared sheet. Cover and set aside to rise.
- When doubled in bulk, ake in preheated 375* oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when you tap the tops. Remove from the sheet and transfer to a rack to cool.
