I have yet to find a bread that I like as much. Beware that the two loaves this recipe makes can disappear without a trace in less time than you might expect! (1) Combine in mixing bowl: 4 1/2 cups flour, 2 C oats, 1 t salt, and 2 packages yeast. (2) In small pan mix: 1 C water, 1/2 C Milk, 1/2 C Molasses, and 1/2 C margarine. Heat to 120-130 F. (3) With mixer on medium, gradually add liquids. Beat 2 min. (4) Add eggs & 3/4 C flour; beat 2 min. (5) Stir in enough flour to make soft dough. (6) Turn out and knead 8-10 min. (7) Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. (8) Punch down and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal parts. Take 2 sections and role into 12" ropes, then twist then together, turn the ends under, and place in 8.5" x 4.5" x 2.5" loaf pan. Repeat for remaining bread. (9) Cover loaf pans and let rise 1 hour. (10) Bake at 400 for approx. 30min. Toothpick should come out clean. Put it out on a cooling rack until its had the chance to dry out a bit. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES From rec.food.cooking archives.
