  • ¾ cup cold water
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 ¼ tsp SAF yeast
  • 5 cups all purpose flour more or less as needed

Instructions
 

  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add oats, oil, and salt to boiling water. Remove from heat and add cold water. Let cool till warm to the touch.
  • Pour into mixer and add sugar, molasses, and yeast. Add 2 cups of the flour and beat till smooth.
  • Add remaining flour till dough is barely sticky and soft, but doesn’t stick to your finger.
  • Divide dough in half and form into two loaves. Place into two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans.

Notes

I often replace 2 cups of the white flour with whole wheat flour with great results!
