Susan at church gave me her grandmother's recipe for Brown Bread. This recipe can be used to make loaves or rolls. Enjoy.

Nan's Brown Bread

Put 1 cup of oatmeal (don't use instant) in a bowl, pour 3 cups of boiling water over the oatmeal. After 5 minutes add a heaping tablespoon of butter, stir to melt. When the mixture is lukewarm, add 1 cup of molasses. Then add 1 tablespoon or 1 packet of yeast, stir. In a measuring cup mix 1/2 c boiling water and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, stir to dissolve. Then add this to the first mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add enough all purpose flour to make a firm dough. Knead. Let rise until it doubles.Knead and make into rolls or loaves, let rise until it doubles in size. Bake at 350*

I made 1/2 the recipe last night and made 15 rolls. I baked them in a 9 x 13 pan for about 25-30 minutes. I brushed them with butter after I took them out of the oven. I used my Kitchen Aid Stand mixer with dough hook to make it, or you can make it by hand. Enjoy!!!
