This is my late grandmother's bread recipe. We have never made it and the recipe is written on a sheet of paper that is falling apart and some of the directions are missing.
Brown Bread (no knead)
2 c boiling water
1 c quick oatmeal
1/3 c shortening
1/2 c light molasses
4 t salt
2 packages of yeast
2 beaten eggs
5 1/2 c flour
Combine water, shortening, salt. Cool to luke warm - add yeast. Blend in eggs and molasses. Add flour 2 cups at a time. Grease bowl and bread...
Store in refrig for 2 hours....
Okay so that's all I have - I wish I had a scanner so you could see this.
Do you think 1/3 c shortening sounds correct? Think I can use butter instead?
Does 1/2 c molasses sound right?
When should I add the quick oatmeal?
Why does it say store in the frigde? Perhaps this is an option instead of a direction?
At the bottom of the page there is something else for 2 hours and then no cooking time. What do you think the other thing for 2 hours is? What should the cooking time/temp be?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! I'm just not experienced enough to know how to read this right.
