2 tb Uncooked oats
-quick or old-fashioned
4 1/2 c Whole wheat flour

1. In a large bowl, combine regular flour, salt, and yeast. In a 2
quart saucepan over low heat, heat water, molasses, butter or

minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. With wooden spoon, stir in 3
cups whole wheat flour to make a soft dough.

doubled, about 1 hour. (Dough is doubled when two fingers pressed
lightly into dough leave a dent.)

4. Grease large cookie sheet. Punch down dough. Shape dough into a
ball; place on cookie sheet. Cover with towel and let rise in warm
place until doubled, about 40 minutes.

5. Preheat oven to 350~. With knife, cut 5 slashes in top of loaf.
