Molasses Oat Bran Bread recipe

2 servings

Ingredients:

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

1 pinch white sugar

1 cup warm water

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/3 cup molasses

1 cup oat bran

3 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon oat bran

Instructions:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and a pinch of sugar in warm water.

Set aside to rest for about 5 minutes.

Mix butter or margarine and molasses into yeast.

Add 1 cup oat bran, 2 cups flour, and salt.

Stir, and add flour as needed to make dough stick together.

When dough forms a ball, turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed to make a slightly sticky and moist dough.

Place in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat the surface.

Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Punch down, and form into two round or oval loaves.

Place on a greased baking sheet, and allow to rise 1 hour, or until loaves have doubled in size.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oat bran on top of the loaves.

Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are a nice dark brown and the bottoms of the loaves sound hollow when tapped.
