Big Jane'S Oatmeal Bread
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the oats, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, salt and butter in a large bowl or food processor fitted with a paddle.
- Pour the boiling water over the mixture and let cool until lukewarm. It is important to let this cool, otherwise you will kill the yeast.
- Dissolve the yeast into 1/2 cup of warm water (between 105-115 degrees) in a glass cup or bowl and allow to proof. Add the lukewarm mixture when it is ready. *You will know it is done when a thick tan foam develops on the top. I have found that sometimes a little sprinkle of white sugar helps this process.
- When the dough is stiff, turn out onto a well floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. It make take longer than 5 minutes, but the idea is to have a smooth, even dough that is soft to the touch.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover and allow to double in size (approximately 1 hour). *This is best done in a warm place, like a window sill.
- Once doubled in size, punch down and turn the dough into 2 well greased and floured loaf pans. Allow to rise for another hour.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.
