Ingredients

• 2 T. sugar
• 2 t. instant yeast
• 1 c. warm (110º) water
• 1 c. cooked oatmeal
• 2 c. whole-wheat flour
• 2 c. bread flour
• 1 t. salt
• 4 T. butter, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Add sugar and yeast to warm water and let stand while mixing remaining ingredients. Add yeast mixture and blend until a soft dough forms. Turn onto floured surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes then knead for another 3 to 4 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 ½ hours). Punch it down, return to floured surfaced, and knead briefly. Place in greased bread pan and let rise again until slightly less than doubled (about 1 hour). Slash top and bake in preheated 350º oven for 40-45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 190º. Remove for pan and let cool on rack.
