Raisin and Nut Oat Loaf

Ingredients

• 1 pint scalded milk
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup molasses or sugar
• 1 yeast cake
• 1/2 cup lukewarm water
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped nut meats

Instructions

1. Pour the scalded milk over the oats and cook slowly to a mush, adding salt, molasses, or sugar. When lukewarm add the yeast, which has been softened in the water, add flour, chopped raisins, and nut meats. Knead carefully on a well-floured board until it loses its stickiness.
2. Form into two loaves, place in well-greased pan and let stand until very light. Brush over with milk or egg and bake in a moderately hot oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 380 degrees.
