Whole Wheat Molasses Walnut Bread
1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. oatmeal
Stir together and set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer with a dough hook, combine
3 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. powdered milk (opt)
1 1/2 Tbsp. rapid rise yeast
2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp. oil
1/4 c. molasses
3/4 c. hot water
Add oat mixture and mix well. Let rest for 15 minutes. Turn on the mixer, add additional flour (white or wheat, your preference) a little at a time until the dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
Add 1 c. chopped walnuts
Knead for a few minutes until the walnuts are incorporated and dough is elastic. Form 2 loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Let raise until dough comes to the tops of the pans. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 30-35 min. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Brush with melted butter. Yield 2 loaves.
Notes: This is so good! Serve warm with jam or honey butter.
