Ecology Bread

This is the best and one of the easiest bread recipes. It is a great healthy bread that also freezes well, if you have any left over to freeze! I found this recipe in a copy of Guideposts, the recipe was submitted in a story by Joel Bastille. He calls the bread Ecology Bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil (I used canola oil instead)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 package dry yeast or 1 tsp. yeast (I used the quick rise Red Star packet)
  • 4 1/2 cups flour (I prefer King Arthur Brand flour)

Directions

Combine water, milk, and oil in pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the oats, then stir. Cool to lukewarm. Pour into mixing bowl and add salt, molasses and yeast. Beat for 2 minutes. Add flour, a little at a time. Remove from bowl. Knead 8 to 10 minutes on a lightly floured counter top. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl, I put a little butter on a papertowel and grease the bowl. Cover the bread with a clean cloth and let rise till doubled. Punch down. Divide into two loaves. Let rise again in bread pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 mins. or until golden brown on top. Honestly, this is the best bread. Try it and I am pretty sure you will make it often, in fact, I just made two loaves of it myself, which inspired me to share the recipe.
