OATMEAL BREAD 1 1/2 c. boiling water 1 c. rolled oats 1/2 c. honey 1/4 c. black strap molasses 3 Tbsp. butter 2 tsp. salt 1 Tbsp. dry yeast 2 c. lukewarm water 4 c. whole wheat flour, unbleached 4 to 5 c. white flour Pour boiling water over oats and let stand 30 minutes. Add molasses, honey, butter and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm water and add to oat mixture. Gradually add flour, starting with wheat flour. Beat and work in enough flour to make a medium soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking. Place dough in an oiled bowl; turn to grease top. Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours. Turn onto surface and knead again. Divide and shape into 3 loaves. Place in well oiled 9 x 5 x 3-inch pans. Cover and let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake loaves 5 minutes; lower heat to 350 degrees and bake 30 to 40 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
