- Pour boiling water over oats and let stand about 1/2 hour.
- Sprinkle yeast and 1 tsp sugar into warm water. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir.
- Add molasses, sugar, salt and butter to the cooled oatmeal; blend well.
- Stir in dissolved yeast.
- Add enough flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Place in a greased bowl; turn to grease top.
- Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until double -- about 1 hour.
- Punch down and knead lightly for 2 minutes.
- Divide dough in half and shape into loaves. Place in greased pans.
- Cover and let rise until double.
- Bake at 400 degrees 45 -55 minutes.
- Note* If bread darkens too much for your liking while baking -- cover with a piece of tin foil -- shiny side up. This will help it from darkening any further.
- I don't do this -- as we like it dark.
