Hearty Oatmeal Raisin Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups water
2 cups oats
1/3 cup molasses
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup shortening
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup warm water
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 cups whole wheat flour
3 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups raisins

Preparation

Heat water nearly to boiling.
Combine oats, molasses, brown sugar, shortening, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pour hot water over mixture; cool this mixture to lukewarm.
Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes; add to oat mixture.
Beat in 2 cups whole wheat flour and beat; then stir in remaining 1 cup and enough all-purpose flour for dough to leave sides of bowl.
Knead 10-12 minutes, adding flour to make dough smooth. Add raisins (I add with the flour).
Shape into a ball; rise until double, punch down and put into pans.
Rise again, then bake at 375\u00b0F for 15 minutes, then at 350\u00b0F for 45 minutes or until done.
