This is a very good bread to have with baked beans, or just on it's own. This recipe can also be used to make rolls. Ingredients:
2 cups boiling water |
1 cup rolled oats |
2 tablespoons shortening |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
4 teaspoons salt |
1 cup molasses |
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
1 teaspoon white sugar |
2 tablespoons active dry yeast |
3 cups warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
12 cups bread flour |
1 1/2 cups raisins |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Combine boiling water, oats, shortening, brown sugar, salt, and molasses. Allow to cool.
2. Stir 1/2 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon white sugar until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over this mixture, and proof while oats are cooling.
3. Add 3 cups of warm water to the cooled oat mixture. Stir in yeast. Begin stirring in flour 1 cup at a time until it begins to get hard to stir. Dredge raisins in flour, and mix with cinnamon; mix into the dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, and knead in enough flour to make a soft but not sticky dough. Cover. Let rise for 1 to 2 hours in a warm place, or until dough doubles in size.
4. Divide dough into 5 parts. Shape loaves, and place into greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
5. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
