Instructions



1. Heat water nearly to boiling. Combine oats, molasses, brown sugar, shortening, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour hot water over mixture. Cool to lukewarm; dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and let stand 10 minutes; add to oat mixture. Beat in 2 cups whole wheat flour and beat, then stir in remaining 1 cup and enough all-purpose flour for dough to leave sides of bowl. Knead 10-12 minutes, adding flour to make dough smooth. Add raisins (I add with the flour). Shape into a ball; rise until double, punch down and put into pans. Rise again, then bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, then at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. Yield: 2 loaves.
