This bread has been our family's favorite for many years, and now I sent it to my out-of-town children. I added the aniseed to the recipe, which gives the bread a delicious, distinctive licorice flavor. It makes wonderful toast!

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

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.

OATMEAL MOLASSES BREAD - NO YEAST QUICK BREAD



Oatmeal Molasses Bread - No Yeast Quick Bread image

This is a dark "quick bread" that is fast and easy to prepare. Because it doesn't use yeast, you don't need to knead it or let it rise. Don't be put off by the long list of instructions. It's just that the recipe is very detailed. I am not a breadmaker and managed this recipe quite successfully. From Cooking Light, October 2002. This was published as part of an article pairing soup recipes with bread recipes. The "partner" for this recipe is Mexican Ham and Bean Soup, which is also delicious. This is also nice spread with a little butter for breakfast.

Time 50m

Yield 2 loaves, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups fat-free buttermilk
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins or 1 cup currants
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal or 1 tablespoon polenta

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine milk, oats, molasses and oil in a bowl.
  • Measure flours by lightly spooning into measuring cups and levelling with a knife. As you may know, "scooping" flour will cause you to use too much.
  • Whisk or sift together flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Add raisins, stirring "until the dough pulls together in a shaggy mass". The original recipe suggests a wooden spoon for this.
  • Split dough in half. With each half, turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Expect the dough to be sticky and wet. Form into a 6-inch round loaf and place on a baking tray sprinkled with cornmeal.
  • Make 3, 1/4 inch deep, diagonal cuts across each loaf.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then for 15 minutes more at 375°F These loaves will look browned before they are actually finished, so test for doneness by "knocking" on the bottom of the loaf. It will sound hollow when finished.
  • Let stand about 15 minutes before slicing to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for any baking recipe, but it's especially important for bread. If you don't measure your ingredients accurately, the bread may not rise properly or may have a dense, crumbly texture.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it passes the windowpane test. To do the windowpane test, stretch a small piece of dough between your fingers. If the dough can be stretched until it is almost translucent without tearing, it is ready.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will cause the bread to rise. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the bread from collapsing. Bake the bread at the temperature specified in the recipe until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal raisin molasses bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a little practice, you can make perfect oatmeal raisin molasses bread every time.
