  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons regular active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cooked wild rice, cooled to room temperature
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Stir in oats; cook 1 minute then remove from heat. Stir in milk, molasses, butter and salt, until butter melts; add 1/4 cup cold water. Allow mixture to cool slightly, about 15 minutes until lukewarm.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (about 105°F to 115°F); add to oat mixture. Add 2 cups flour of the flour to the oat mixture; stir well. Stir in wild rice, cranberries and remaining flour. Let dough rest 10 minutes.
  3. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 10 minutes or until smooth, adding more flour as needed. Place dough in large, lightly greased bowl, tossing dough lightly to grease. Cover bowl; let rise until double in size, about 2 hours.
  4. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; shape into a large loaf. Place bread on lightly greased baking sheet; brush with beaten egg.
  5. Heat oven to 350°F. Let bread rise at room temperature 30 minutes while oven heats up; bake 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on pan 10 minutes, remove bread to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

Notes

For those crazy mornings, keep some bread on hand! Slice the entire loaf, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or a freezer bag and store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
