I made bread....Molasses Oatmeal Bread...YUM!

[Donnadzitall]

I was going through my recipe box and found a recipe I hadn't made in 15 years...so I thought I would try it out again...(I knew there was a reason I kept this one!)

I can post the recipe if anyone is interested but here are pics of it...
It made two loaf pans and one round pan (round casserole dish) I think it would make 4 loaf pans normally.
It is a moist & light brown bread.

Oatmeal Molasses Bread Recipe
Makes 3-4 loaves bread

1 1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup oatmeal (rolled, quick...it doesn't matter)
Mix these two together and let sit while mixing other ingredients.

Mix in LARGE bowl:
3/4 cup molasses (I use dark)
3 Tablespoons soft butter
1 Tablespoon yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
I have done this with a Kitchen Aid and by hand...either way it works.

Add oatmeal to molasses mixture.

Add 8 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt to molasses mixture.

When using kitchen aid....the dough will try to go over dough hook, I would stop and move it back down every once in a while. (This is a large batch).
When a ball of dough is obvious, I kneaded it on floured board for about two minutes. Place dough in greased or buttered bowl, cover and let rise till doubled in size. (It only took 45 minutes for me)
Punch dough down and separate into 3 or 4 sections. Shape to fit bread pans. Place in greased pans and let rise once again. (30-45 minutes) Bake at 375 for 35-50 minutes. (depends on oven)
I brushed top with butter when taken out of oven.

Enjoy, this is sweeter than your normal bread.
