Instructions
Heat milk in microwave until just boiling. Pour into free standing mixer bowl (or into large bowl to mix and knead by hand).
Add oatmeal, sugar, butter, and salt. Mix well and cool to luke warm, about 15 minutes.
Add yeast, eggs, wheat germ and whole wheat flour. With mixer on low, add in remaining all purpose flour. Knead on medium for 6 minutes.
If dough is still sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until dough pulls away from edges of bowl.
Shape dough into large ball and using your hands, rub the outside of the dough with butter.
Put the dough back into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about 1 and 1/2 hours.
Shape dough into two loaves, and place in two nine inch loaf pans. Sprinkle the top of each loaf with 1/2 tablespoon of oats.
Let rise again, covered with plastic wrap, until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake 30-40 minutes, until dark golden brown.
Notes
Be sure to check the expiration dates of all your ingredients. Expired/old flour, yeast, and other ingredients can cause homemade bread to fail.
For this recipe, do not substitute quick rise yeast.
