Molasses oatbread

 

I mean, molasses are the secret... This bread is heaven, even though I could not think anything better than the last one. The molasses give that "kick" my taste buds needed. 

For a loaf:

2 1/2 cups white flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup rolled fine oats

1/2 packet of instant yeast (3,5 grams)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons soft butter

1 tablespoon molasses

1 and 1/4 cup water

1 small jar (about 80 ml) applesauce

Use the hook attachment on the stand mixer, and let it run for a good 5-6 minutes with all the ingredients until a soft, slightly sticky dough is formed. Let the yeast work its magic for about 40-50 minutes until the dough rises.

In a floured surface, tap out all the air, form a rectangle and  roll it up. Place the bread into a lined baking dish, and let it rise for another 40 minutes. 

Preheat the oven for 180 C / 350 F and bake the bread for about 40 minutes, until golden on the top. Let it cool on a rack before slicing.
