List of Ingredients
2 cups raw oatmeal (Do NOT use instant!)
Boiling water to cover the oats
3/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon shortening
2 teaspoons anise seed
1 egg, beaten
6 to 6 1/2 cups flour
1 package of yeast
Recipe
Cover oatmeal with boiling water. Add molasses, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, shortening, anise seed, and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix well. Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in which you have dissolved 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add enough of the remaining flour to make dough that begins to hold together. Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, until elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm spot for four hours (less if using rapid-rise yeast). Punch down, and shape into three loaves. Place in greased and floured pans and let rise for another hour. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour.
