Makes 1 Loaf

Ingredients
1½ cups boiling water
¾ cup rolled oats

1½ teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 package active dry yeast
4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon soft butter or margarine

Method
1.                  In medium bowl, pour boiling water over oats.  Add molasses, salt, and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring to mix well; cool.
2.                  If possible, check temperature of warm water with thermometer.  Sprinkle yeast over warm water in large bowl of electric mixer, stirring until dissolved.
3.                  Stir in oatmeal mixture.  Gradually add 2 cups flour; at medium speed, beat 2 minutes.  Mix in rest of flour by hand till well blended.
