Oatmeal Yeast Bread

Oatmeal Yeast Bread
WHEN this old-fashioned bread is baking, it reminds me of childhood and the warm, inviting aromas that greeted me when I got home from school. The light sweet flavor, crispy crust and hearty texture of this bread made for a special treat when Mom baked it for us. I hope I am leaving the same delicious memory for my family. -Gloria Murtha, West Mifflin, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 cups plus 2 teaspoons old-fashioned oats, divided

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk, water and shortening

  • 110°-115°. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water;
  • add to oat mixture. Add 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough

  • half. Shape into two loaves; transfer to greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf
  • pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes. Brush with
  • egg; sprinkle with remaining oats. Bake at 350° for 35-40
  • minutes or until golden. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
