 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/2   c            Whole wheat flour
  1       c            Quaker Oats, uncooked
                       -- (quick or old-fashioned)
  3       pk           Active dry yeast
  2       ts           Salt
  1 3/4   c            Water -- plus...
  1       tb           Water
    1/2   c            Aunt Jemima Syrup
                       -OR- Lite Syrup
    1/2   c            Margarine or butter
  4       c            All-purpose flour
                       -- (less may be needed)

 Generously grease two 8x4 or 9x5-inch loaf pans.  In large mixer bowl,
 combine whole wheat flour, oats, yeast and salt.  Heat 1-3/4 cups water,
 syrups, and margarine until very warm (120 to 130 degrees F).  Pour over
 oats mixture; add 2 eggs.  Beat at low speed of electric mixer 1 minute.
 Continue beating at medium speed 2 minutes.  Gradually stir in enough
 all-purpose flour to make a soft dough.  On lightly floured surface, knead
 in enough remaining flour until dough becomes smooth and elastic; about 10
 minutes.  Place dough in large greased bowl.  Cover; let rise in warm
 place about 45 minutes or until double in size.

 Punch dough down.  Divide into 2 parts; shape each into ball.  Allow dough
 to rest, covered with inverted bowl, about 15 minutes.  Shape each ball
 into loaf.  Place in prepared pans.  Cover; let rise in warm place about
 1/2 hour or until double in size.

 Heat oven to 375 F.  Combine remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush
 over loaves.  Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when
 tapped lightly.  Immediately remove loaves from pans.  Cool on wire rack.
