Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. boiling water
  • 1 c. old fashioned oats
  • 2 Tbsp. shortening
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast
  • 3/4 c. warm water

Directions

  1. 1
    In a bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Cool to 110° to 115°. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Sprinkle with sugar. Add oat mixture, brown sugar, molasses and 3 cups flour; mix well. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 375° for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans. Cool on wire racks. Brush with melted butter.
