Oatmeal Bread I



1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup molasses
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup whole wheat flour
5 cups bread flour
2 eggs
Combine oats, molasses, oil, salt and boiling water. Let cool to about 105 degrees F.
Proof the yeast. Add to oat mixture and stir well. Add whole wheat flour, 2 cups white flour and the eggs. Beat well.
Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out to a floured counter and knead for about 10 minutes. Place in a well greased tupperware bowl with a lid on it. Put into the fridge and leave over night.
Punch down and form into loaves and let rise until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown. I got 2 loaves with this recipe.
