Time 2h40m

Yield 16

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:

  • Pour boiling water over oats in a large bowl; let soften, about 1 hour. Add molasses, butter, and yeast; mix well. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until dough sticks together. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Butter two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into 2 balls and let rest for 10 minutes. Form balls into loaves and place into the prepared pans. Cover loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake loaves in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 40 minutes.
