   3/ In a small bowl combine the 1 cup warm water & sugar. Stir in yeast then add to the cooled oat mixture.

   4/ Mix in the molasses.

   5/ Gradually add flour. (You may need to turn the dough out onto the counter to incorporate the final cup or two of flour.)

   6/ Divide dough , shape into loaves & place into greased loaf pans.**

   7/ Cover with a clean dish towel & let rise until double in bulk(about 1 1/2 hours, but really depends on how warm your kitchen is).
 
   8/ Bake@ 350º for 45 minutes to an hour, until loaves sound hollow when tapped.

   9/ Remove from pans to cool. 

  ** We use three, 4 X 8 Lodge cast iron loaf pans.

Thank you, I need to go for more molasses as I doubt I have that much left from Christmas cookies.
