Step 1

In your breadmaker pan, add the water, butter, salt, molasses, oatmeal and flour, in that order. Do not mix!

Step 2

Make a well in the flour and add the yeast, to keep it seperate from the water.

Step 3

Place in your breadmaker, set to 'medium' darkness, and '2 lb. loaf' settings.

Step 4

Wait until it's done! It was about 3.5 hours for my breadmaker.

Step 5

Remove from the breadmaker when done, and let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove. If you leave it in the pan, it will get too moist on the outside of the loaf.

Step 6

Wait at least another 5 minutes so it will set before you cut yourself a giant slice.
