Oatmeal Bran Bread
Ingredients
1 C. oatmeal
2 C. water
1/4 C. light or dark molasses
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 package active dry yeast (1 Tbsp.)
1/2 C. warm water (110 to 115 degrees F.)
1 C. bran
1/4 C. soy flour
1/2 C. wheat germ
3 C. whole wheat flour
Cooking Instructions
Cook the oatmeal according to directions in 2 C. water. Add the molasses, oil and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, and add to the oatmeal mixture. Stir in the bran, soy flour, and wheat germ. Beat in the whole wheat flour, adding a little at a time, until the dough is stiff. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place in a lightly oiled bowl until it doubles in bulk. Punch down and knead again until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into two loaves. Shape and put into lightly oiled bread pans. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees F. about 40 minutes, or until brown and sounds hollow when tapped on top. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack.
