I was a novice at break making when a neighbor gave me this recipe 15 years ago. Now bread making is one of my favorite things to do. This recipe won a blue ribbon at the Clackamas County Fair in 1993.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 4-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup oat bran
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 7 to 7-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add oil, sugar, molasses, salt, wheat germ, bran and remaining warm water; mix well. Add oats, whole wheat flour and 2 cups all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and shape into four loaves. Place in a greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
