Oatmeal Molasses Bread

I gave this recipe a whirl today. I was intrigued with the idea of adding oatmeal.

This is better than Playdough...

Oatmeal Molasses Bread

1 cup quick oats

1-1/2 tbs butter

1 pkg active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup molasses

2 tsp salt

3-2/3 cup white flour

1 cup wheat flour

2 cups boiling water

Bring the two cups to a boil, add quick oats and butter. Let mixture sit for 1 hour.

Stir yeast into the 1/2 cup of warm water and let sit for 5 min.

Stir yeast mixture, molasses, and salt into oatmeal mixture.

Stir in as much flour as possible and knead on floured surface and knead for about 8 min or until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in bowl (greased) and cover with towel. Let rise till double.

Punch down dough and cut into two. Shape each into loaf and place in loaf pans. Let rise again with towel.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 35 min... Cool on wire racks.
