SOUTHERN OATMEAL BREAD
1 c. quick Quaker oats
2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. molasses
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening
1 pkg. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
6 c. flour (or a little more)
Put the oatmeal, boiling water, shortening and salt in a large bowl. Stir
and let cool. Add molasses. Dissolve yeast in the warm water and add to the
oatmeal mixture. Add flour gradually until all is used up. Let rise until
double in bulk. Knead down and put into 2 bread pans, greased. Let rise again
about 1 1/2 hours. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes. NOTE: This is an
old Southern recipe. It dates back to Civil War days. Easy to make and GOOD!
Enjoy.
