Oatmeal Toasting & Sandwich Bread


I've been looking for a new bread to try. I was thinking that it would be good to do an oatmeal bread, and this one sounded like a good one to try. I thought I found this one on Honest Cooking, but I couldn't find it when I looked again. 

3 cups flour
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons butter
teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (dissolve it in the warm milk before combining with the remaining ingredients)
1¼ cups lukewarm milk
¾ cup raisins or currants (optional)
  1. Combine all of the ingredients, mixing to form a shaggy dough. Knead the dough until it's smooth.
  2. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rest for 1 hour; it'll become quite puffy, though it may not double in bulk.
  3. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rest for 1 hour.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled surface, and shape it into a log.
  5. Place the log in a lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pan, cover the pan, and allow the dough to rise for 60 to 90 minutes.
  6. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  7. Bake the bread for 35 to 40 minutes. If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil for the final 10 minutes of baking.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven, wait a couple of minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool.
