  1 1/2           cups  boiling water
  1         tablespoon  butter or margarine
  2          teaspoons  salt
     1/2           cup  sugar
  1                cup  rolled oats
  2           packages  active dry yeast -- (1/4-ounce)
     3/4           cup  warm water -- (110 to 115
                        -- degrees)
     1/4           cup  molasses
     1/4           cup  packed brown sugar
  6               cups  all-purpose flour -- divided, (up to
                        -- 6-1/2)

Preparation:

In a small mixing bowl, combine boiling water, butter, salt and sugar. Stir in oats; cool to lukewarm. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in molasses, brown sugar and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Add oat mixture and enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down; divide in half and shape into balls. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into loaves and place into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubles, about 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Cover loosely with foil the last 20 minutes if loaves are browning excessively. Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.
