       1/3           cup  oatmeal -- (1/2C
    1 1/2      teaspoons  salt -- (2 tsp)

Buttermilk is often used in baking to give bread a softer crumb. With 
the added goodness of oats, this classic farmhouse bread is a real taste treat.

Have water buttermilk at 80F and all others at room temperature.

Place ingredients in pan in the order listed.

Select basic/normal cycle.

Do not use the delay.

Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading.

The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball.

If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 Tbsp at a time.

If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 Tbsp of flour at a time.

When the bread is done carefully remove the baking pan from the 
machine. After 5 min remove the bread from the baking pan and remove 
the paddle from the loaf of bread. Allow to completely cool on a wire rack.

MIXER METHODS:
Using ingredient amounts listed for medium loaf, combine yeast, 1 cup 
flour, and other dry ingredients. Combine liquids and heat to 120 to 130F.

Hand-Held Mixer Method:
Combine dry mixture and liquid ingredients in mixing bowl on low 
speed. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. By hand, stir in enough 
remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 
minutes or until smooth and elastic. Use additional flour if necessary.

Stand Mixer Method:
Combine dry mixture and liquid ingredients in mixing bowl with paddle 
or beaters for 4 minutes on medium speed. Gradually add flour and 
knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Food Processor Method:
Have all ingredients at room temperature. Put dry mixture in 
processing bowl with steel blade. While motor is running, add liquid 
ingredients. Process until mixed. Continue processing, adding 
remaining flour until dough forms a ball.

RISING, SHAPING AND BAKING:
Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let 
rise until dough tests ripe. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; 
punch down to remove air bubbles. Roll or pat into a 14 x 7" 
rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing 
dough into roll. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9 x 
5" loaf pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after 
touching. Bake in preheated 375F oven 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan; cool.

*Note: You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of 
Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise 
faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods:
use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 
tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe.
