Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 stir the yeast into warm water In a large-ish bowl, add molasses & stir till dissolved.
Step #2 add the white flour & the whole wheat flour, about 1 c at a time, stirring well after each addition.
Step #3 when all four c of flour are stirred in, beat the mixture with a wooden spoon for about 10 mins.
Step #4 it should be smooth & very soft.
Step #5 cover bowl with a towel & put in a warm place for 45 mins.
Step #6 the yeast sponge should rise considerably & be rather bubbly at the end of this time.
Step #7 now sprinkle salt over the sponge & fold inches.
Step #8 add the rye flour & the oats, a littel at a time & fold them inches.
Step #9 the dough should be quite thick.
Step #10 add enough white flour to make the dough manageable & turn onto a floured board, & knead for about 20 mins till smooth & elastic.
Step #11 cover & let rise till doubled.
Step #12 punch down & divide into two parts, forming each into a loaf.
Step #13 put into buttered medium loaf pans & let rise till doubled.
Step #14 bake this at 350 for 40-60 mins (depends on your oven & how crusty you like your bread - my loaves were just right at about 40-45 mins.
Step #15 I brushed the loaves with butter after baking to soften the crust).
