Oatmeal Molasses Bread via the bread machine. I often just use the dough cycle, take the dough out when done, and let it rise on more time. I then bake it in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 28 minutes. The texture is just like a real homemade loaf. Enjoy!!!!!

OATMEAL RAISIN MOLASSES BREAD



Oatmeal Raisin Molasses Bread image

DH loved the bread his grandmother always made. This is the closest we ever got to it. Use a bread machine for the dough and bake in the oven.

Provided by Nadine

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

Time 3h35m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup molasses
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 tablespoon white sugar, divided
¼ cup warm water (about 100 degrees F/38 degrees C)
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
4 ½ cups bread flour
1 ½ cups raisins

Steps:

  • Place oats, molasses, butter, and salt into the bread maker bowl; add the boiling water.
  • Measure 1/4 teaspoon sugar into a small cup and set aside. Pour remaining sugar into the oat mixture and stir. Let mixture cool to about 100 degrees F/38 degrees C, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour warm water into the reserved sugar in the small cup; add yeast.
  • Pour bread flour atop the oat mixture. Pour yeast mixture over the flour.
  • Select Dough setting and press start. Check your owner's manual to see how long the kneading lasts, so you can add raisins to the dough 5 minutes before it finishes kneading. Let the bread maker run the full dough cycle, about 1 hour, though it will depend on your machine.
  • Grease 2 bread pans.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down dough, but do not knead. Separate into two loaves and place in prepared pans; cover each with a damp towel and allow to rise for about 1 hour.

OATMEAL MOLASSES BREAD - NO YEAST QUICK BREAD



Oatmeal Molasses Bread - No Yeast Quick Bread image

This is a dark "quick bread" that is fast and easy to prepare. Because it doesn't use yeast, you don't need to knead it or let it rise. Don't be put off by the long list of instructions. It's just that the recipe is very detailed. I am not a breadmaker and managed this recipe quite successfully. From Cooking Light, October 2002. This was published as part of an article pairing soup recipes with bread recipes. The "partner" for this recipe is Mexican Ham and Bean Soup, which is also delicious. This is also nice spread with a little butter for breakfast.

Time 50m

Yield 2 loaves, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups fat-free buttermilk
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins or 1 cup currants
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal or 1 tablespoon polenta

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.

SWEET MOLASSES OATMEAL BREAD



Sweet Molasses Oatmeal Bread image

Very good sweet bread. Perfect bread for around Christmas time or any time of the year. Makes good toast and would also be nice as french toast. Sometimes we use half whole wheat and half white that also makes it good, but suit yourself. This is a recipe from a friend.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your bread.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for ensuring that your bread turns out properly.
  • Mix the dough thoroughly. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the bread chewy and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will allow the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the bread light and airy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
