How to Make Sweet Molasses Oatmeal Bread
- Combine 1 cup rolled oats and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until oats soften and water is absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, dissolve 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast in ½ cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in ½ cup molasses, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs.
- Add the cooled oatmeal mixture.
- Gradually add 3-3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour), mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
- Place each half into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 1 hour, or until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Handle gently as the bread is delicate when warm.
- Enjoy your homemade Sweet Molasses Oatmeal Bread! It's delicious toasted or as French toast.
