Description

Rich, dense, sweet -- enough said. Such a good toast bread!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 2 ⅓ cups boiling water
  • ⅓ cup molasses
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 cups bread flour, or more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Directions
  1. 1. Pour boiling water over oats in a large bowl; let soften, about 1 hour. Add molasses, butter, and yeast; mix well. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until dough sticks together. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  2. 2. Butter two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  3. 3. Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into 2 balls and let rest for 10 minutes. Form balls into loaves and place into the prepared pans. Cover loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  4. 4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. 5. Bake loaves in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 40 minutes.
