Easter
April 10, 2009
Easter, the most Holy time of the year. I wish you and yours a very happy day. I hope you are able to spend time with your loved ones. Light a candle and say a prayer for those faraway, yet close at heart. Here is a quick and easy bread recipe to share with your loved ones.
Old Fashioned Batter Bread
2 to 2-1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 cup water
1/3 cup light molasses (or honey or corn syrup)
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
Grease an 8x4" loaf pan. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, oats, salt and yeast and mix well. In small saucepan, heat water, molasses and butter until very warm, about 120 degrees. Add to flour mixture along with egg, and beat for three minutes. Stir in additional 1 to 1-1/2 cups flour to make a stiff batter. Cover and let rise until light, about 25-30 minutes.
Stir down batter and place in prepared pan. Cover and let rise until batter reaches top of pan, about 15-20 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread for 35-40 minutes until loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from pan immediately and place on wire rack to cool.
Blessings,
Jerriann & Rob
