Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, pour boiling water over oats. Add syrup, sugar, shortening and salt. Let stand until mixture cools to 110°-115°, stirring occasionally.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add yeast mixture, eggs, whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour to oat mixture. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
  3. 3
    Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. 4
    Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  5. 5
    Preheat oven to 350°. Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
