Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
2 ⅓ cups boiling water
⅓ cup molasses
½ cup butter
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups bread flour, or more as needed
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. They provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the bread.
  • Soak the oats in buttermilk overnight. This will help to soften them and make them more digestible.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
