I like to serve wedges of this bread with stew or bean soup. My husband thinks it's a big treat-little does he know how easy it is to make. My children eat it for breakfast the next day with butter and strawberry jam. -Judi Havens of Denton, Texas

DH loved the bread his grandmother always made. This is the closest we ever got to it. Use a bread machine for the dough and bake in the oven.

Time 3h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup molasses
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 tablespoon white sugar, divided
¼ cup warm water (about 100 degrees F/38 degrees C)
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
4 ½ cups bread flour
1 ½ cups raisins

Steps:

  • Place oats, molasses, butter, and salt into the bread maker bowl; add the boiling water.
  • Measure 1/4 teaspoon sugar into a small cup and set aside. Pour remaining sugar into the oat mixture and stir. Let mixture cool to about 100 degrees F/38 degrees C, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour warm water into the reserved sugar in the small cup; add yeast.
  • Pour bread flour atop the oat mixture. Pour yeast mixture over the flour.
  • Select Dough setting and press start. Check your owner's manual to see how long the kneading lasts, so you can add raisins to the dough 5 minutes before it finishes kneading. Let the bread maker run the full dough cycle, about 1 hour, though it will depend on your machine.
  • Grease 2 bread pans.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down dough, but do not knead. Separate into two loaves and place in prepared pans; cover each with a damp towel and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To get a crispy crust on your bread, brush the top with melted butter before baking.
  • If you want to add raisins to your bread, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent it from crumbling.
