This was actually the first bread I made, from the New England cookbook, put out by national braille press. The smell while baking about sent me into orbit:
Mix in large bowl: One and a half cups boiling water 1 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup shortening 1/4 cup molasses 1 teaspoon salt stir these together until well blended. Let stand until Luke warm. Mix: 1 cup warm water Two packages dry yeast Blend well and add two other mixture. Stir in: 5 1/4 cups flour Mix well. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Divide into two greased loaf pans. Bake one hour at 350 The recipe doesn't tell you to do this, but from another recipe, after loaves bake, I rub butter over them, and cover with a damp towel until cool. This prevents the bread from becoming hard. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
