I made Old Fashioned Batter Bread

**Sinclairwife** · 01-02-2004, 11:43 AM

2 to 2-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 cup water
1/3 cup light molasses
1/4 cup butter
1 egg

Grease an 8x4" loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, oats, salt and yeast and mix well. In a small saucepan, heat water, molasses and butter until very warm, about 120 degrees. Add to flour mixture along with egg, and beat for three minutes. Stir in additional 1 to 1-1/2 cups flour to make a stiff batter. Cover batter and let rise until light, about 25-30 minutes.

Stir down batter and place in prepared pan. Cover and let rise until batter reaches top of pan, about 15-20 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread for 35-40 minutes until loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from pan immediately and place on wire rack to cool.

I served it with honey butter. It is yummy!
