1 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed firm
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup molasses or honey
  • 7 to 8 cups of flour

Directions

  1. 1
    {"0":"1. Put the oats, margarine, salt, and brown sugar into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the boiling water and let set until the mixture is lukewarm (45 minutes).","2":"2. Pour the warm water over the top of the dough, and sprinkle the yeast over the water; let set a minute or two to proof the yeast. Stir in the molasses or honey, then stir in about 4 cups of flour.","4":"3. Mix in as much of the rest of the flour as it takes to make a soft dough that just barely escapes being sticky, and knead for 2 or 3 minutes. This is best as a rather soft, moist bread; therefore, don't work in as much flour, or knead as long, as you would for another bread.","6":"4. Form the dough into a ball on the counter, cover with the inverted mixing bowl, and let rise until double (1 hour).","8":"5. Knead the dough down, shape into 3 loaves, and set each to rise in a greased 5x9 inch bread pan. Let rise until nearly double (45 min to an hour).","10":"6. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about 50 minutes."}
