Homemade Oatmeal Bread

My good friend Kendra makes this bread all the time so I decided, with her help, to make some.  Here is the recipe.

I should warn you this makes A LOT of bread! You can half the recipe and it will work just fine.

3 Cups Oats (the ones you use for cookies!)
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Wheat Flour
3 Tablespoons Salt
6 Tablespoons Butter
6 Cups Boiling Water

Mix all of these together and let it cool to room temperature.

Next add:
6 3/4 teaspoons yeast
1 1/2 Cups warm water
15 Cups Flour

After needing the dough let it double in size.  Divide into about 1 1/2 lb.  pieces and form into loafs.  Let rise again and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes.

These loafs freeze really well.  Pictures to come on Friday when we make a batch.
