2 c. boiling water
1 c. rolled oats
2 tbsp. shortening
1/2 c. molasses
2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. yeast dissolved in
1/2 c. warm water
5 to 6 c. flour

Pour 2 cups boiling water over the rolled oats. Add 2 tablespoons shortening. Cool to lukewarm then add molasses, salt and yeast. Stir in the flour and knead until dough is soft and easy to handle. I use 5 cups of flour. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Makes 2 loaves or 2 dozen buns. I bake the buns 25 minutes. Let dough rise euntil double in size before you make into loaves or buns.
