Directions: |
Directions:Pour boiling water over oats and stir. Cool. Add
shortening and salt. Dissolve yeast in warm (100 degrees) water
and let stand for 5 minutes. Add that and the molasses
to first mixture. Add half the flour (3 cups) and mix with
beater for 2 minutes. Then add most of the rest of the flour,
mixing by hand with spatula. Pour out onto counter
which has some flour on it. Knead for at least 100 times
adding a little flour if terribly sticky. Put about ½ tablespoon
of oil in a large bowl and rub all over surface. Place dough
in bowl, press down and turn over so the top shows the oil.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for about 1 hour
or until it has doubled in size. Remove to floured counter, cut
in half and pat each to an oval about 6x8" and roll tightly. Place
smooth side down in 5x8" greased bread pan then pull out
and turn upside down so smooth side is up. Repeat with other
oval and cover with plastic wrap. When top is level with edge
of pan place in preheated 350º oven (remove plastic) and bake
40 minutes. If tops seem to be getting too brown, lay a piece
of foil over tops. Remove from oven and place loaves on rack
and take a piece of butter and rub all over surface.
Delish and wonderful toasted! |
