SWEET MOLASSES OATMEAL BREAD

Steps:

• Pour oats and water into a small saucepan and cook over medium high heat.
• Stir until the oats soften and the water is absorbed (about 5 minutes).
• Set aside to cool.
• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes.
• Add and mix molasses, salt oil eggs and cooled oatmeal.
• Gradually stir in the flour until the dough begins to form itself into a ball.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5- 10 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough into an oiled bowl and let rise for 1 hour or until double its size.
• Punch down dough and divide it into loaves.
• Place loaves into two well greased loaf pans and let them rise again for 1 hour or until doubled.
• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Bake loaves for 30-35 minutes or until medium brown on top and on the sides.
• It is a good idea to be careful with this bread since it is delicate and can tear or stick if you try to remove it from the pans too soon.
• Enjoy!

MOLASSES SWEETBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the molasses, lard, salt, and raisins. Stir in the boiling water until smooth. Sift together the flour, ground ginger and baking soda. Stir the flour into the molasses mixture until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan,
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the icing by simmering together the brown sugar and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Pour the syrup into a bowl, add the butter, and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture begins to thicken, then set aside and allow to cool.
• Once the frosting and cake are both cool, spread the icing on the cake and serve.

OATMEAL MOLASSES BREAD - NO YEAST QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine milk, oats, molasses and oil in a bowl.
• Measure flours by lightly spooning into measuring cups and levelling with a knife. As you may know, "scooping" flour will cause you to use too much.
• Whisk or sift together flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
• Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir just until combined.
• Add raisins, stirring "until the dough pulls together in a shaggy mass". The original recipe suggests a wooden spoon for this.
• Split dough in half. With each half, turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Expect the dough to be sticky and wet. Form into a 6-inch round loaf and place on a baking tray sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Make 3, 1/4 inch deep, diagonal cuts across each loaf.
• Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, then for 15 minutes more at 375°F These loaves will look browned before they are actually finished, so test for doneness by "knocking" on the bottom of the loaf. It will sound hollow when finished.
• Let stand about 15 minutes before slicing to serve.
