I got this from newspaper in Portland Or. said from: Bread on Bread by James Beard. Who is Maryetta? Her bread is sure good. It is essential to leave the dough uncovered during the two risings.

How To Make maryetta's oatmeal bread

  • 1
    pour the boiling water over the oatmeal in a large bowl and leave to cool. Then stir in 2 cups flour and the yeast. Place in warm spot and allow to rise, uncovered and doubled in bulk, 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and work in the salt, oil, molasses and enough flour to make a stiff dough.
  • 2
    turn out on a floured board and knead, adding extra flour if necessary to make a pliable stiff dough - about 10 minutes, but you cannot knead too much. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and form into 3 loaves to fit 3 buttered 5 by 8 loaf pans.
  • 3
    Allow to rise again, uncovered, until doubled, about 45 min. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 40 to 60 min. I brush tops with melted butter just out of the oven. Cool on racks before slicing.
