This is a sweet bread, especially good toasted.

2	tbsp.	yeast
3-1/2	C	milk
2	C	rolled oats
1	tbsp.	salt
1/2	tsp.	cinnamon
1/2	C	honey
1/4	C	oil or butter
6	C	whole wheat flour
1/2	C	chopped nuts
1	C	raisins

Soften yeast in 1/2 cup milk to which 1 teaspoon of the honey has been added. Add remaining 3 cups milk to oats, mix well, and blend in salt, the rest of the honey, and oil. Combine with yeast mixture and stir in half the flour and the nuts and raisins.

Add remaining flour gradually, working in with your hands when the dough becomes too stiff to stir. Knead thoroughly, until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with damp cloth and let rise 1 hour in an oiled bowl. Punch down and put into 2 bread pans. Let rise until dough is slightly above the top of the pans. Bake at 325F for 1 hour. Remove from pans and let cool before slicing.
