Oatmeal bread

1 cup old fashioned oats
2 cups warm water
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup molasses or honey (I use honey)
3 cups wheat flour
2 tablespoons yeast
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups white flour

In large bowl, combine oats, water, oil, and honey.  Let cool for 5-7 min.  Add whole wheat flour and yeast and mix with spoon.  Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 15 min.  Add salt and white flour, 1 cup at a time.  Knead for 4-6 min.  Shape into 2 loaves and put in greased loaf pans.  Let rise until doubled and bake 25-35 min at 350 degrees.

Rachel asked me to post this.  She said she got the recipe out of a cookbook.
