Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Milk
2 cups Rolled oats
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Shortening
1 packet Active dry yeast
1 cup Warm water
5-6 cups All-purpose flour
1 tbsp Water (for brushing)
As needed Rolled oats (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

  1. Scald the milk: Heat the milk in a saucepan until it almost boils, then remove it from the heat.

  2. Mix dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and shortening into the scalded milk. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm.

  3. Activate yeast: Sprinkle the yeast over warm water in a small bowl, stirring until dissolved.

  4. Combine ingredients: Add the yeast mixture and 2 cups of flour to the milk mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed, or with a spoon until smooth.

  5. Incorporate flour: Gradually add enough remaining flour, a little at a time, to make a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. Initially, use a spoon, then continue with your hands.

  6. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured board and knead it until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

  7. Let it rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning it over to grease the other side. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1-1 1/2 hours.

  8. Punch down: Once doubled, punch down the dough and let it rise again until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.

  9. Divide and rest: Turn the dough onto the board again, divide it in half, then shape each half into a ball. Cover and let them rest for 10 minutes.

  10. Shape the loaves: After resting, shape each ball into a loaf and place them in greased 9x5x3″ loaf pans.

  11. Final rise: Let the loaves rise until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.

  12. Preheat oven: Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  13. Brush with egg white: Before baking, brush the tops of the loaves with a mixture of egg white and water, then sprinkle them with rolled oats for added texture.

  14. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil after baking for at least 15 minutes.

  15. Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, let the loaves cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread, and savor the wholesome goodness of homemade oatmeal bread!
