- 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt

- In another bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups of the flour, yeast and salt. Beat in oat mixture until blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.Turn on to floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in 2 greased 9' x 5" loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool.
