Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pk Active dry yeast
1/4 c Warm water
1/4 c Molasses
4 tb Dairy free margarine
2 ts Salt
1/4 c Brown sugar
2 c Oatmeal (uncooked)
1 c Boiling water
1 c Cool water
2 c Whole wheat flour
2 1/2 c Unbleached white flour
Measure 1/4 cup warm water and stir yeast and 1
tablespoon of the molasses in the water. Let stand
until bubbly.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine margarine,
remaining molasses, salt, brown sugar, oatmeal and the
boiling water, stirring until margarine melts.
Add cool water and yeast to above mixture. Beat in 4
cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time.
Turn out the dough onto a floured board and knead
until smooth, about 5 minutes, adding more flour as
needed to prevent sticking. Turn dough over in a
greased bowl; cover and let rise ina warm place until
doubled (about 1 hour).
Punch dough down and divide into 16 equalpieces.
Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place balls about
2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and flatten
slightly. Cover and let rise in a warm place until
doubled (30 or 40 minutes.)
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly
browned, about 20 minutes.
Note: This recipe can be shaped into 2 loaves and
placed in greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Allow to rise
until double and bake in a 350 degree oven about 40
minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on
bottom.
