Oatmeal Bread

I'm reposting about this, since it is my favorite thing to bake and the first time I posted about it I did not include the recipe. Refer here to see the original post. Enjoy!

Oatmeal Bread - More With Less Cookbook (slightly modified)

Combine in large bowl:
1 c. quick oats
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 T. salt
2 T. margarine
Pour over:
2 c. boiling water
Stir in to combine.
Dissolve:
1 pkg. (1 T.) dry yeast in 
1/2 c. warm water
When batter is cooled to lukewarm, add yeast.
Stir in:
5 c. white flour
When dough is stiff enough to handle, knead for 5-10 minutes on a floured surface.  Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled.  Punch down, shape into 2 loaves and place in greased 9x5x3" pans. Let rise again.  Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until tops are golden.  Cool on rack, brushing loaves with margarine for a soft crust.
