It's winter, which means it's cold. On top of that, I seem to have contracted a bit of a head cold, which isn't fun at all. This spells out one thing - COMFORT FOOD. I was originally going to make just Boston style "baked" beans in the slow cooker, but it isn't any fun eating just beans. Wait a minute, what am I saying... I love beans. Anyway, what goes well with beans? What other than fresh molasses oatmeal bread?
Beyond the resting, this went together in almost no time in in the Kitchenaid. The dough is slightly tacky, but very workable. The oats give a lot of body to the loaf, and the molasses adds that bit of sweetness. It's a perfectly moist, tender loaf, great for butter and honey, or even just dipping in baked beans. You can grab the recipe from About here, and as a note, I did leave out the cornmeal, and the recipe does half fantastically!
