Recipe - Oatmeal Burger Buns

1 pack Active dry yeast
One fourth cup Warm water
One fourth cup Molasses
4 tablespoon Dairy free margarine
2 teaspoon Salt
One fourth cup Brown sugar
2 cup Oatmeal (uncooked)
1 cup Boiling water
1 cup Cool water
2 cup Whole wheat flour
2 One half cup Unbleached white flour

Measure One fourth cup warm water and stir yeast and 1 tablespoon of the molasses
in the water. Let stand until bubbly.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine margarine, remaining molasses, salt,
brown sugar, oatmeal and the boiling water, stirring until margarine melts.

Add cool water and yeast to above mixture. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1
cup at a time.

Turn out the dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth, about 5
minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Turn dough over
in a greased bowl; cover and let rise ina warm place until doubled (about 1
hour).

Punch dough down and divide into 16 equalpieces. Shape each piece into a
smooth ball. Place balls about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets and
flatten slightly. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (30 or
40 minutes.)

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly browned, about 20
minutes.

Note: This recipe can be shaped into 2 loaves and placed in greased 9 x
5inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until double and bake in a 350 degree oven
about 40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.
