An antique bread recipe. This makes great sandwiches or is grate in chuncks with cheese and sausage. I've always loved this bread either fresh from the oven, or a week later. Ingredients:
3 cups boiling water |
1 cup oatmeal |
2 to 4 cups cool water |
1 tsp salt |
2 tbs shortening |
3 yeast (dry packets) |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 tbs dark molasses |
nut meats (chopped) (wallnuts, pecans, almonds, to your liking) |
flour |
Directions:
1. Pour 3 Cups boiling water over 1 cup oatmeal
2. cool with 2 to 4 cups water
3. add salt, shortening, yeast, sugar, molassas, and nut meats. Mix well
4. add enough flour to make a hard loaf
5. let rise
6. shape into loaves, let rise again
7. bake at 400 F for 10 min
8. turn oven down to 350, bake an additional 50 min.
9. remove from pans and cool on wire rack.
10. (makes 3 to 4 loaves)
11. dinner rolls
12. bake in moderate oven untill brown.
13. Notes:
14. 1) this is as the recipe reads. (from my great grand mother)
15. 2) The nuts are optional (I use 1 cup chopped walnuts).
16. 3) I assume that step 2 is cooling the boiling water to 125 F+/- for the yeast.
17. 4) I usualy use about 4 pounds of flour (hard loaf) and this does need to be kneaded.
18. 5) butter the loaf before letting rise the first time. cover the loaf with a light towl and let rise in a warm draft free place.
19. 7) butter the pans
20. 8) I assume moderate oven is 350 F to 375 F.
