Maple Oatmeal Bread


We tried this one this week. It was very good, and made incredible toast.

Maple Oatmeal Bread

Makes 2 loaves

2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
1 package dry yeast
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon oil
5 cups flour

Put the oats into a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the oats and set aside for an hour.

Mix the yeast, syrup, salt, and oil into the oats. Mix in 3 cups of the flour. Cover the bowl and let rise for an hour.

Add more flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is the correct consistency. Knead for 10 minutes. Cut the dough into two pieces, then shape it into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise another 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 40 - 50 minutes.

This recipe originates in Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads.

Great recipe!

I baked this bread last night and it was delicious--perfectly moist and pleasantly sweet. 

I made a few modifications to fit my inventory and my schedule:  reduced the yeast to 2 tsp, replaced the maple syrup with 1/2 cup of molasses, added 2/3 cup of lightly steamed dried, sweetened cranberries after the first rise, and retarded the loaves in the refrigerator for 24 hours before baking.
