How to Make Molasses Oat Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1/4 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 cup rolled oats, and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
  2. Let the mixture cool to 110°F.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons active dry yeast and stir well. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  4. Gradually add 3-4 cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly greased large bowl, turning once to coat the top.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  8. Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 equal portions.
  9. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in three well-greased 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  10. Cover the pans with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
