Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses

  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 3 cups rye flour

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour and yeast. Add the molasses mixture just until moistened. Stir in rye flour and enough of the remaining bread flour to form a medium stiff dough.

  • Punch down dough; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into three portions. Shape into loaves. Place on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Melt remaining butter; brush over loaves and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Cool. Yield: 3 loaves (12 slices each).
