ingredients

³⁄₄ cup old fashioned oats (or 1 cup)
1 ¹⁄₄ - 1 ³⁄₈ cups water (or 1 5/8 to 1 3/4 cups)
3 tablespoons molasses (or 1/4 cup)
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons sugar (or 2 tablespoons)
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt (or 2 teaspoons)
3 cups bread flour (or 4 cups)
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons active dry yeast (or 2 teaspoons)

directions

Use the least amount of liquid listed in the recipe!
Place all ingredients in bread pan, in the order recommended by your brand of machine.
Select Basic/Standard and Light Crust settings; Press Start.
Observe the dough as it kneads; After 5 to 10 minutes, if it appears dry and stiff or if your machine sounds as if it's straining to knead it, add more liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a smooth, soft, pliable ball that is slightly tacky to the touch.
After baking, remove from pan and cool for one hour before slicing; great toasted!

I made this bread and it was lovely. Instead of 3 tablespoons Molasses, I used 2 tablespoons of Samoan Coconut Jam (caramelised coconut milk with lemon) and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. I also used raisins, cranberry with mixed nuts and pumpkin seeds. I used Basic program, light bake. It turned out light, not quite moist and favored by my family. Sorry I didn't take a photo but my bread hit the roof of the bread machine lid.

Liked the texture, but found the molasses gave it a very distinct flavor. As a bread and butter bread, this would get 5 stars from me. As a sandwich bread I'd give it 2-3 stars because I don't think the molasses flavor would pair well with meat or mustard. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy! This is a hearty bread. The texture is very nice, not overly soft and not overly dense. It is sweet but not sweet enough to limit it's usage. It almost tastes like a really good wheat bread. The color is gorgeous as well. It will make great ham sandwiches. Prepared for My 3 Chefs Nov 2008
