List of Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats
3 cups boiling water
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
6 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons salt
1 cup raisins
1 envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water (105°F)
1 teaspoon sugar
4 eggs beaten
7 cups bread flour (7 to 8)
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup butter or margarine meltedRecipe
Grease a large bowl; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and boiling water; stir in butter, honey, brown sugar, salt, and raisins. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in water with sugar; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add dissolved yeast, eggs, and 2 cups flour to oatmeal mixture; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a well floured board; knead 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in prepared bowl; grease top lightly. Cover; let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Spray 2 9x5-inch loaf pans with non-stick vegetable spray. In a small bowl, combine sugar and spices; set aside.
Punch dough down; knead briefly. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured board, roll each piece into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Brush each piece with melted butter; sprinkle with spice mixture. Starting at a narrow edge, roll up jelly-roll fashion; pinch seams to seal. Place, seam-side down, in prepared loaf pans; grease tops lightly. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from pans; cool completely on a wire rack.
