Oatmeal Bread 

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup boiling water

     Pour boiling water over oats in a mixing bowl.  Stir well and let sit 
     one hour.

1/4 cup luke warm water
1/4 cup maple syrup (presumably honey or molasses could be used.)
Soaked oatmeal
1-1/2 tsp butter
1-1/2 tsp salt

3 cups bread flour
2 tsp SAF yeast or 2-1/2 tsp bread machine yeast.

If there is any problem with the yeast, seek advice from some experienced 
person among your acquaintance.  I get the SAF yeast (I think it's French) 
from King Arthur Flour.  I think they also have bread machine yeast.  If 
you compare this to other recipes, you will note that this one calls for 
twice as much oatmeal.  An excellent oatmeal bread can be made with half 
the above amount, but this is that much tastier, and oatmeal is very good 
for you.
