1 c Sourdough starter
1 tb Sea salt
2 pk Dry yeast
5 c Whole wheat flour; to 6 c.
1/2 c -warm water (110F)
2 Eggs, beaten
1 1/4 c -boiling water
6 tb Rolled oats
1 c Rolled oats
1 Egg white; beaten
2/3 c Light molasses; (or honey)
1 tb -water
1/3 c Safflower oil

Measure out sourdough starter. Soften yeast in warm water. Combine boiling
water, oats, molasses, oil and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 2 c. flour.
Beat well. Add to sourdough starter along with softened yeast and eggs.
Stir in enough of remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a
lightly floured surface and knead 5 - 8 minutes or until smooth and
elastic. Shape dough into a ball and place in lightly greased bowl, turning
once. Cover with a cloth and set in a warm place free from drafts and let
rise 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size. Punch down dough and turn out
onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest
for 10 minutes. Coat 2 well greased loaf pans with about 3 tbsp oats per
pan. Shape dough into loaves and place in pans. Cover and let rise in warm
place for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Brush loaves with mixture
of egg white and water. Sprinkle tops lightly with rolled oats. Bake at
375F for 40 to 50 minutes or until done(I find mine are always done at 35
minutes so watch carefully). Makes 2 loaves.
