Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Molasses
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, boiling water, unsalted butter, molasses, and salt. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined. Let cool to lukewarm, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water (approximately 110°F/45°C) and let it stand for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy.

Step 3

Once the oat mixture has cooled, stir in the yeast mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with the vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it so the surface is coated. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch the dough down and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 8

Cover the loaf pans with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until the loaves double in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaves for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the pans and cool on wire racks before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
