Author Unknown

Makes 2 loaves.
bullet1/2 cup warm water
bullet2 Tbsp active dry yeast
bullet3/4 cup water , boiling
bullet3/4 cup rolled oats
bullet1 cup buttermilk (or 1/3 cup powdered milk, 1 cup water, 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice)
bullet1/3 cup vegetable oil
bullet1/2 cup honey or molasses
bullet2 cups all-purpose flour
bullet1 Tbsp salt
bullet1/2 tsp soda
bullet3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
In a small bowl, stir yeast into 1/2 cup warm water; allow to stand until yeast dissolves and bubbles up. In medium sauce pan, bring 3/4 water to a boil; stir in oatmeal and cook several minutes. Remove from heat; add buttermilk, oil, honey or molasses.

Sift flour, salt and soda into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast mixture and oat mixture and beat with a wire whip or slotted spoon; let stand 5 minutes. Gradually add enough remaining flour until dough is soft enough for kneading. Turn out onto floured surface and knead 8-10 minutes or until a soft, elastic ball forms. Place dough in clean greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow it rise until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough and divide into two portions; cover with bowl or towel and allow to rest 10 min.

Form into loaves and place in greased 8 by 4 inch pans. Cover and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 350 deg. to 375 deg. for 45 to 50 min. or until done. Remove from oven and turn out to cool on wire rack.
