THE LOAVES & THE FISHES OATMEAL BREAD & FRIED DOUGH
Adapted from Yankee magazine.Another neat recipe I clipped from Yankee's now defunct "recipe with a history" article. According to the article,this recipe was a family favorite for oatmeal bread that they also would often form into balls and drop into oil to make fried dough. One year, for a 4th of July church food booth, they instead used a fish shaped cookie cutter to shape the raw dough, then fried them. and served them dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar while warm. She said at home they just fried the dough balls and served them warm with maple syrup or honey. And of course, they made the oatmeal bread into regular loaves too. The amount of fish you get will vary greatly depending upon what size cookie cutter you use (and yes - of course you can use different shapes) but is approximately 48 fish from one batch of dough. Prep time/cook times include rising times for the dough. If making the fish, plan ahead as the dough need to chill overnight for them.

Steps:
- To make the oatmeal bread:Pour boiling water over oatmeal in a large mixing bowl.
- Add salt and a egg sized scoop of shortening or lard and stir to dissolve; set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile combine yeast in the 1/4 cup lukewarm water in a small bowl.
- Once oat mixture has cooled, add yeast mixture and molasses.
- Knead in enough flour to make a soft dough- amount will vary depending upon the humidity the day you make it; set aside covered, in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
- Dump dough onto a floured surface and knead about 5-10 minutes, adding additional flour if needed prevent sticking (again- this amount will vary)- you want a smooth& elastic, dough that isn't sticky.
- Divide into two balls and form into loaf shapes.
- Set into greased loaf pans, cover and let rise until doubled (30-60 minutes).
- Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Brush tops with melted butter while still warm.
- For Fried"Fish": Let the dough rise the first time, then punch down and chill overnight, covered.
- Prepare a deep fryer using vegetable oil, heating oil to 370 degrees F.
- Set dough onto a floured surface and (do not knead) roll out to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using a floured fish shaped cookie cutter, cut out fish shapes.
- Tes fry a dough scrap before you begin- it will rise to the surface at once, then puff out and brown in 1 minute when oil is at proper temp.
- Fry in small batches (don't crowd the pan), and let fried fish dry on paper towel lined plates.
- While still warm, roll in cinnamon sugar or dust heavily with powdered sugar and serve at once.

Steps:
- Add oats and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Heat milk to a simmer and pour on top, stirring to combine. Set aside for about 1.5 hours. Mixture should be at room temperature.
- Add honey, warm water, instant yeast, and salt to the bowl and stir well to combine. Add the whole wheat flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined. Add the all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Only add enough flour to make a dough that is soft, and not overly sticky (don't add too much flour!). Knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- First Rise: Transfer dough to a greased bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide into two equal pieces. Shape into loaves and place in two lightly greased loaf pans. Make egg wash and gently brush some over the top of each loaf. Sprinkle a small handful of dry oats on top.
- Second rise: Cover with a well greased piece of plastic wrap gently laid on top and let rise in a warm place until risen about 1 inch over the loaf pans, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Carefully peel off the plastic wrap.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes. Loaves are done when tapping lightly on the tops produces hollow sound (or when instant read thermometer registers 200° F). Cool for 15 minutes on wire rack, then turn out of pans and cool completely.

OATMEAL LOAF
