Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup oatmeal
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons lard
3 teaspoons salt
2 cups water, boiling
2 teaspoons yeast
1 cup water, warm
5 1/2 cups flour, divided
2 1/2 cups rye flour

Steps:

  • Combine rolled oats, molasses, brown sugar, salt, and lard in a large mixing bowl; add boiling water; stir well. Cool to lukewarm. In a separate bowl, proof yeast in lukewarm water. Add to warm, not hot, oatmeal mixture. Add 4 cups flour; beat well. Add remaining flour, mixing well after each addition. Knead until smooth and elastic. Shape in a ball; let rise in a warm place in a lightly greased bowl; cover with a damp cloth, until doubled. Punch down. Divide into two balls. Let rest 10 minutes. Shape into loaf. Place in a greased 5.5x10.5-inch loaf pan. Let rise until doubled. Bake 45 minutes in a preheated 375°F oven. While still warm, brush with melted butter if a tender crust is desired.
