You might have to increase the boiling water somewhat because of the added cereal. Sometimes I have to and sometimes I don't. Don't add too much more, though, because the bread should have a firm crumb. Enjoy. Best Ever Oatmeal Bread 2 pkgs. dry yeast or 2 yeast cakes 1/3 cup shortening (oil seems to work well also) 1/2 cup warm water 2 tsp. salt 2 eggs beaten 1 1/2 cup boiling water 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup molasses 5 1/2 - 6 cups flour Dissolve yeast in warm water. Combine boiling water, rolled oats, honey, molasses, and shortening and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 2 cups of flour and beat well. Add yeast, and Mix thoroughly, stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on flour surface and knead 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until double in bulk 1 1/2 hours-2 hours. Punch down; divide dough in half, cover and let rest 10 minutes. Grease two 9 x 5" bread pans and coat inside with rolled oats. Shape dough into loaves and place in pans. Cover and let rise until double about 45 minutes. Mix 1 egg white with 1 TBLS. water and brush top of loaves, and sprinkle with rolled oats. Bake at 425 F for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 325 F for 30 minutes more. *Be sure to use enough flour because otherwise oatmeal bread has a tendency to "fall" on the sides after it's baked. --------------- MESSAGE bread-bakers.v108.n005.2 --------------- From: "indianabob" Subject: morning coffee and bread Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 07:34:48 -0600 Wandering thru the supermarket I spied a can of starbucks coffee with cream. The light in my closet lit up like a beacon. Why not? Out comes the breadmaker. 1 can starbucks coffee with cream plus enough water to make 1 1/2 cup 3 1/2 c flour ( I like Bouncer or Primo at Gordons) 2 1/4 t yeast 1 1/2 t salt Bread came out well. Great fragrance, good crust and crumb and toasted ..."priceless" indianabob grower of fine weeds and a few hostas --------------- MESSAGE bread-bakers.v108.n005.3 --------------- From: Ellen Lee Subject: Red River cereal recipes Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:06:09 -0500 Enter "red river cereal recipes" in your browser search window and you will get a link to the recipes section of the Red River web site. [currently: ] There are recipes for two breads, including one for pumpernickel, and pancakes. The regular bread is very good. I love the hot cereal, too; I add raisins and some cinnamon and cook it in the microwave. 1/4 cup of Red River cereal mixed with 1 cup water makes a rib-sticking huge helping.
