    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2               cups  boiling water
    1                cup  rolled oats -- NOT instant
    4 1/2      teaspoons  active dry yeast
       1/2           cup  lukewarm milk -- (110F)
       1/2           cup  molasses
    2          teaspoons  salt
    1         tablespoon  butter
    5               cups  flour

In a lg bowl pour boiling water over rolled oats and let the mixture 
stand for 1 hr.  In a sm bowl sprinkle yeast over lukewarm milk and 
allow the mixture to soften for 5 min.  Mix the molasses, salt, 
butter, and yeast mixture into the oat mixture.  Blend the flour, 1C 
at a time, into the oat mixture beating with a wooden spoon to make a 
stiff, elastic, but still sticky dough.  Cover the bowl with a damp 
cloth, place in a warm (80-85F) draft-free place, and allow the dough 
to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hr.  Beat the dough down, 
divide it between a greased 9X5" loaf pans, cover, and let rise again 
in a warm place until doubled, about 45-60 min.

Bake thee loaves in a preheated 375F oven for 30 min, then decrease 
the oven to 300F and continue baking them for 15 min more or until 
they are dark brown and hollow-sounding when tops are tapped.

Note:  This molasses-flavored bread is delicious used for sandwiches, 
especially ham or when toasted for breakfast.
