INGREDIENTS
This recipe makes 1 loaf
| Bread Flour | 2+3/4 cups |
| Quick rolled Oats | 1/2 cup |
| Salt | 2 tsp |
| Shortening, soft | 3 TBSP |
| Water | 1 cup |
| Active Dry Yeast | 2+1/4 tsp |
| Egg, room temperature | 1 |
| Light Molasses | 3 TBSP |
DIRECTIONS
Have water at 110°-115°F and all other ingredients at room temperature.
Measure the first 4 ingredients into a bowl; blend. Set aside. Pour the water into a mixing bowl; add the yeast. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes; stir. Add the egg, molasses, and 1/2 the flour-mixture. Beat 2 minutes with electric mixer on medium speed, or by hand until smooth. STOP MIXER. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat again with a spoon until smooth...1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Scrape down batter from sides of bowl. Cover. Let rise in warm place until doubled...30 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile grease one 5x9 OR 4-1/2 x 8-1/2 inch loaf pan.
Beat down raised battter in about 25 strokes. This is a thick, somewhat sticky batter; spread evenly in the pan. Tap pan on table to settle the batter. Let rise only until edges of batter come to within 1-inch of tops of large pan or reach top of smaller pan...about 30 minutes. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until well browned on sides and top, in preheated 375°F oven. Remove from pans and cool on racks. Brush with butter.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) in place of Active Dry Yeast in your recipes. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Use equal amounts when baking using traditional methods. When using the Bread Machine, use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.
