Molasses Oatmeal Loaf - 3 pts

2 tablespoons molasses

1 1/3 cups buttermilk

3/4 cup rolled oats

1 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into

cubes

1 extra-large egg, beaten

An 8-by-4-by-2 1/2 -inch loaf pan, well-greased

 

 

 

 

 

Mix the molasses and the buttermilk in a large bowl.

Stir in the oats then let soak for 30 minutes.

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

 

In another bowl, mix the flours, baking soda, and

salt. Add the pieces of butter and rub in, using the

tips of your fingers, until the mixture looks like

fine crumbs.

 

Add the beaten egg and the mixture of soaked oats and

mix well with a wooden spoon to make a fairly heavy

dough. Scrape the mixture into the greased loaf pan

and with floured fingers press it into a neat loaf

shape.

 

Bake for 10 minutes then reduce the oven temperature

to 350 degrees and bake for a further 35 minutes.

 

Turn out the loaf onto a wire rack and let cool to

room temperature before slicing.

 

Keep tightly wrapped and eat within 3 days, or toast.

Can be frozen for up to 1 month.

 

Makes 1 medium loaf or 12 servings.
