Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
4-1/2 to 5 cups bread flour

Directions

1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, oil, honey, oats, whole wheat flour, cornmeal, salt and 2 cups bread flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining bread flour to form a soft dough.
2

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape into loaves. Place in three greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4

Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
