I use a Black & Decker automatic bread maker, but I make possibly the world's greatest Oatmeal-molasses brown bread. It is an incredibly forgiving recipe.
For a single loaf:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast (2½ tsp – slightly less)
1 cup quick-cooking oats (not instant)
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt (slightly less)
½ cup molasses (fancy, not blackstrap)
1¼ cups warm water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Enter ingredients in above order, select normal or timed baking cycle.
If not baking in a machine, mix ingredients and bake in a regular bread pan as with a normal loaf. Incredibly good bread.
