Cool! Since we live in the land of King Arthur I keep meaning to visit their store. I hear it's great. We buy 25 pound sacks of King Arthur. Although, I am keepign a small container of Pillsbury GOld Medal because the "Getting Fat and Loving it" (New Best REcipes) Cookbook often says this: This recipe was developed using Gold Medal unbleached all purpose flour; best results will be achieved if you use the same or similar flour, such as Pillsbury unbleached. King Arthur flour has more protein; if you use it, add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
Here's Ed's canonical (his mom's) 'famous' Oatmeal Bread recipe. It's quite good but I have to admit, though it may be sacriledge (: I want to try some of the others.
2 cups boiling water
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 tblsp salt
1 tblsp melted butter
1/2 yeast cake
5 cups flour Mix oatmeal and boiling water and let stand for 1 hour. Dissolve yeast cake in water. Add molasses, salt, butter, and yeast to oatmeal. Add flour. Mix well until sticky. Let rise overnight and then turn out onto floured board and knead. Place in 2 well greased bread pans and let rise to double its bulk. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, cover the loaves lightly with foil to keep the tops light. When done, butter the tops while hot. Makes 2 loaves.
Let me know if you try it how you think it compares. Ed's actually quite into comparing version, even of family sacred recipes. ;-)
