Oatmeal Bread

This is a very rustic-looking bread that is terrific for toast. It's made with rolled oats as well as flour. This recipe makes 2 loaves.

Oatmeal Bread
2 cups milk
2 Tbsp. butter
4 Tbsp. brown sugar

Add enough flour to obtain a soft dough. At this point if you are not using a mixture, transfer to a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Otherwise mix with a mixer until smooth and elastic.

Cover and let rise until double, about 2-3 hours.

Divide the dough in half and form into 2 rounds. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise about 1 hour. After the loaves have risen, score the tops with a sharp knife.

It came out a bit darker than I wanted but it was still very tasty!
