OAT AND WALNUT BREAD 
3 to 3 1/2 c. bread flour
1/2 c. quick-cooking oats
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/4 c. warm water
3/4 c. chopped walnuts

Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, the oats, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, salt and yeast in large bowl. Stir in water; beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in walnuts and enough flour to make dough easy to handle. Knead on lightly floured surface 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until double. Dough is ready if indentations remain when touched.

Punch down dough, divide in half. Shape each half into loaf, brush with butter. Place in greased loaf pans. Cover; let rise about 30 minutes in warm place until double. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake about 35 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from pans and cool before slicing.
