    I was going to save this recipe for a "family secret" but this file has
    been so good to me I figured I should share. :)
    
    Oatmeal Molasses Bread - yield 2 loaves
    ----------------------
    
    3 T Butter
    1 Cup water
    1 Cup 2% Milk
    1/2 cup warm water
    1 Pkg Yeast
    2 Pkgs Maple and Brown Sugar oatmeal
    1 Cup Wheat Flour
    5 Cups White Flour
    1/2 Cup Molasses
    1 t salt
    
    Heat butter, milk and 1 cup of water till boiling.  Pour into big bowl
    and add oats.  Cool to lukewarm.
    
    Disolve yeast in warm water, add to oatmeal mixture.  Mix in molasses
    and salt.
    
    (I use dough hooks on my sunbeam mixture) 
    
    Add 1 cup of flour at a time to yeast/liquid mixture till mixed.  When
    flour is mixed and dough no longer sticks to bowl (usually about 6
    minutes total kneading time) take out and place in glass bowl that is
    greased with Pam and cover for 1.5 hours.  Take out, divide in half and
    roll into two loaves.  Leave loaves (cover them)to rise for about another
    hour.  
    
    Preheat oven to 350 and cook for 40-50 minutes.  (I usually check at 40
    minutes and brush butter over top to give nice shiny glaze).
    
    enjoy!
