1/4 cup brown sugar (or molasses)
1 Tb yeast
4 1/2 - 5 cups flour

Mix water, milk and oil in a pan, bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in oats. Cool to lukewarm, about 1 hour. Pour into bowl, add salt, brown sugar, yeast
and 1 cup of the flour. Beat 2 minutes, then add the rest of the flour a little
at a time. Remove dough from the bowl, and knead it 8-10 minutes on a floured board. Oil the outside, and let it rise, covered in the bowl until doubled. Punch down, and divide it into 2 loaves, placing them into 2 greased loaf pans. Let it rise in the loaf pans until doubled, then bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, it will sound hollow when thumped. Slice when cool!
