How to Make Oatmeal Bread
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 cup of rolled oats.
- Let the oat mixture rest for 2 hours to soften.
- In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast over 1/2 cup of lukewarm water.
- Stir gently until the yeast is completely dissolved.
- Add the yeast mixture to the softened oats along with 1/4 cup of molasses, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir to combine.
- Gradually stir in 3 cups of all-purpose flour, beating with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a ball.
- Place the dough ball in a buttered bowl, cover with a clean tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough in half and place each half into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Let the loaves rise again until almost doubled, about 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
