Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

1 pk Active dry yeast

1/4 c Warm water

1/4 c Molasses

4 tb Dairy free margarine

2 ts Salt

1/4 c Brown sugar

2 c Oatmeal (uncooked)

1 c Boiling water

1 c Cool water

2 c Whole wheat flour

2 1/2 c Unbleached white flour

1/4 cup warm water and stir yeast and tablespoon of the molasses in the water. Let stand until bubbly.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine margarine,

remaining molasses, salt, brown sugar, oatmeal and the

boiling water, stirring until margarine melts.

Add cool water and yeast to above mixture. Beat in 4

cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time.

Turn out the dough onto a floured board and knead

until smooth, about 5 minutes, adding more flour as

needed to prevent sticking. Turn dough over in a

greased bowl; cover and let rise ina warm place until

Punch dough down and divide into 16 equalpieces.

Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place balls about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and flatten

slightly. Cover and let rise in a warm place until

doubled (30 or 40 minutes.)

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly

browned, about 20 minutes.

Note: This recipe can be shaped into 2 loaves and placed in greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Allow to rise

350 degree oven about minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on

bottom.
