--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4 1/2           tsp.  Active Dry Yeast -- (1/2oz, 14g)
      3/4           cup  water
   3               Tbsp  sugar
   3               Tbsp  melted butter -- or oil
   2               cups  milk
   2                tsp  salt
   1                cup  oats, rolled (raw) -- (quick)
   3               cups  bread flour
   3               cups  whole wheat flour
   2               Tbsp  oats, rolled (raw) -- (quick), for topping, optional

A hearty, delicious bread recipe that is perfect served as toast or 
with your favorite sandwich fixings.

Yield: 2 loaves

In large bowl combine Active Dry Yeast, water (heated to 110-115F) 
and sugar; let stand 10 minutes.

Stir in butter, milk (heated to 110-115F), salt, oats and all-purpose 
flour; beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining whole wheat flour 
to make dough easy to handle.

On lightly floured surface, turn out dough; knead until dough is 
smooth, elastic, about 10 minutes.

Place dough in greased bowl. Cover; let rise in warm place until 
almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Grease two 9x5x2" pans; set aside.

Punch down dough and turn out on lightly floured surface. Cover and 
let rest 10 minutes.

Shape into loaves. Place in prepared pans. Cover and let rise until 
doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Brush the loaf lightly with water 
and sprinkle with water and sprinkle oats over top.

Preheat oven to 425F. Bake loaves 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly 
browned and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans to wire 
rack to 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.

Review: A great basic recipe! The mix of white and whole wheat flour 
keeps it from being too dense and "healthy" tasting, but it really is 
wholesome. I even used all purpose flour instead of bread flour, and 
it turned out just fine. I'd make this again.
