Ingredients
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cup warm water, divided
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour, divided
- 1 egg white
- sesame seeds
Directions
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water; set aside for 5 minutes. Combine 1 cup water, sugar, salt, and butter. Stir in yeast mixture, oats and 1 cup of the flour. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead about 10 minutes. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until double in bulk.
Punch down and divide into 3 parts. Set aside for 10 minutes. Beat egg white and 2 teaspoons water together. Shape each of the three parts into a flat round loaf. Brush each loaf with the egg-white mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Make 3 deep grooves in each loaf to form wedges in each loaf. Let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned. Serves 18.
