MOLASSES OAT BREAD

4 cups boiling water

1/4 cup sugar

2 cups old fashioned oats

3 tsp salt

1 cup molasses

1 pkg (1/4 oz) active dry yeast

3 Tbsp canola oil

9 – 10 cups flour

Combine the first 6 ingredients. Cool to 110 – 115°. Add yeast; mix well. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 – 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and divide into thirds. Shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise about 1 hour. Bake at 350° for 45 – 50 minutes. Cool.

Makes 3 loaves
