Classic Oatmeal Molasses Bread

1. 1

   Combine the oats, molasses, oil, salt, and boiling water. Let it cool to about 105 degrees F.

2. 2

   Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes or until creamy. Stir the yeast into the oat mixture and mix well. Add the whole wheat flour, 2 cups bread flour, and the eggs. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and knead for about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a well-greased bowl and cover with greased plastic wrap. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 3 regular loaf pans and 4 mini loaf pans.

5. 5

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into 4 pieces. Shape the dough into loaves and place them in the pans, seam-side down. Let rise until doubled, about 90 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes.
