Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and butter bits.
-
Pour the boiling water over the oats and butter, stirring until the butter has completely melted.
-
Add the scalded milk, maple syrup, and salt to the bowl.
-
Let the mixture cool until it is warm to the touch, approximately 125F to 130F.
-
Stir in the whole-wheat flour, instant yeast, and beaten egg; beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth.
-
Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Knead the dough, sprinkling with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly buttered bowl; turn once to coat all sides with butter.
-
Cover with a clean dry towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
-
Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
-
Shape each half into a loaf and place them in two greased 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pans.
-
Brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter.
-
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 35 to 45 minutes.
-
Bake in a preheated 375F (191C) oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
-
Turn the loaves out of the pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
