Molasses Oat Bread

Aaron found this recipe from Taste of Home and it was delicious!  It's a very dense bread, which is why he added the dough enhancer.  Apparently it is similar to the bread that is served at Black  Angus, although I don't eat there often enough to remember what it tastes like.

Ingredients


  • 4 cups boiling water
  •  2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 9 to 10 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp dough enhancer

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, pour boiling water over cereal. Add the molasses, sugar, oil and salt. Let stand until mixture cools to 110°-115°, stirring occasionally. Stir in yeast. Add 8 cups flour, and dough enhancer. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough
  2. 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.
  3. Punch dough down and divide into thirds; shape into loaves. Place in three greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3 loaves (16 slices each).
