A hearty, healthy bread for sandwich or toast. Makes 2 loaves
Ingredients:
6 (about) cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cup oats, uncooked, quick or old-fashioned
1/4 cup sugar
4 1/2 tsp yeast (2 packets), quick acting or rapid rise
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/4 cups fat free milk
4 Tbsp olive oil
Procedure:
In a small saucepan, or the microwave, heat water, milk and oil very war, about 120 to 130 F. In a large bowl mix
together about 3 cups of flour, oats, yeast and sugar. Add the water mixture to the flour mixture and mix on low speed
with an electric mixer. When dry ingredients are moistened, increase speed to medium for 3 minutes. Using your
hands, work in the remaining flour to make a stiff dough, adding about a half cup at a time. You may not need all the
flour. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 8 minutes, or dough is smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, greasing top by turning over in the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes,
or until doubled. Punch down and allow to rest for 10 minutes while you prepare loaf pans by greasing or spraying with
baking spray. Divide dough into 2 pieces and form into loaves. Cover and let rise about 15 minutes, or doubled
in size. Preheat oven to 375 F and bake 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven, let stand about 10 minutes, remove
from pan and cool on wire rack before storing.
