Oatmeal Bread

This is the bread my kids go crazy for.  It's better than candy.  They absolutely freak out when I make it.  The great thing is that it is a pretty fast bread with minimal rise time, so it's not an all-day commitment when you decide you want to make some bread.  This recipe makes one loaf.  It is also makes excellent rolls.

Ingredients: 2 cups bread flour 1 package of yeast 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup water 1/4 c molasses 2TBSP vegetable oil 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 cup whole wheat flour Walnuts, chopped (if you are into that--I'm not!) egg, water and rolled oats for topping Directions: In mixer, combine 1 1/4 cups bread flour, yeast and salt; blend well.   Heat 1 cup water, molasses, vegetable oil and rolled oats until warm (120-130 degrees).   Add to flour mixture.   Knead at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.   Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour and enough remaining bread flour to make a firm dough.   Knead until smooth and elastic.   Use additional flour if necessary.   Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top.   Cover; let rise in warm place about 15-20 minutes. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles.   Roll or pat dough to a rectangle, approximately 14x7.   Starting with the shorter end, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn.   Pinch edges and ends to seal.   Place in a greased 8x4-inch loaf pan.   Cover; let rise until indentation remains after lightly touching the side of the loaf, about 30-40 minutes.   Combine egg and 1 TBSP water; brush top of loaf.   Sprinkle with rolled oats.   Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 30-40 minutes.
