Old fashioned oatmeal bread recipe



Recipe for old fashioned oatmeal bread in our easy yeast bread recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup rolled, quick-cooking, oats
  • 5 1/3 tablespoons, 2/3 stick, butter
  • 1/2 cup table molasses, golden, barrel
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 packages dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup lukewarm water
  • Pinch of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 6 cups sifted all-purpose flour

How to make old fashioned oatmeal bread

  • Combine boiling water, rolled oats, butter, molasses and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cool to lukewarm.
  • While cooling, proof the yeast by adding it to the lukewarm water with the sugar. If it foams, it is active.
  • Add to the lukewarm oat mixture and blend well. Gradually stir in the eggs and flour. The dough will be stickier than regular bread dough.
  • Pour into a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until needed.
  • Remove the chilled dough and knead about 2 minutes to remove air bubbles. Divide into two and shape into loaves on a well-floured surface.
  • Generously grease two loaf pans and sprinkle extra rolled oats around their bottoms and sides.
  • Place the loaves into the greased pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until double in bulk, approximately 2 hours.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until done. Remove from pans at once and serve warm.
