Printable Recipe
1 1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 T shortening (I used butter)
2 t. salt
1 package (1/2 T) yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1/2 t. sugar
1/4 cup molasses
4 3/4-5 1/2 cups flour
Combine boiling water, oats, shortening and salt. Let cool. In a large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Sprinkle with sugar. Add oat mixture, brown sugar, molasses and 3 cups flour. Mix well. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth. Place in greased bowl and let rise. Divide into two loaves and place into greased bread pans. Sprinkle with some oats. Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans and brush with melted butter.
Makes 2 loaves.
Holly's Note:
This recipe came from Simply Delicious Amish Cooking and received rave reviews from my husband. It's really good, not very heavy, but not light and not overly sweet. It makes a fantastic toast. The recipe didn't say to let it rise after putting it in the bread pans, but I let it rise for another 30 minutes. I also used hot, not boiling water and didn't let it cool very much, before mixing it all together. And, I don't knead. It put it all in my kitchenaid and let the mixer do the work. Once it was smooth, I let rise.
This is a keeper.
