-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 C Water
1/2 C Honey
1/3 C Butter Or Margarine
5 1/2 C All-Purpose Flour -- To 6 1/2 C
1 C Quick-Cooking Oats
2 Tsp Salt
2 Pkg Active Dry Yeast -- (Used 4 1/2 T)
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Water
1 Egg White
Oatmeal -- Topping
Combine water, honey and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until
liquids are very warm (120 - 130 deg F).
Place 5 cups flour, oats, salt, and yeast in bowl. Attach bowl and dough
hook. Turn to Speed 2 and mix 15 seconds. Gradually add warm liquids to
flour mixture, about 1 minute. Add eggs and mix an additional minute.
Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 C at a time, until dough
clings to hok and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 for 2 minutes longer.
Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm
place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place
in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2" loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm
place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Combine water and egg white. Brush tops of loaves with mixture. Sprinkle
with oatmeal. Bake at 375 deg F for 40 minutes. Remove from pans
immediately and cool on wire racks.
Very good.
