Preparation

• In a mixer bowl, mix yeast with brown sugar. Combine milk and melted butter together, test to make sure it is not too warm.
• Add to yeast/sugar, stir, and let rest for 15 minutes. If mixture foams, it is proofed and you're good to go.
• Add oatmeal, molasses and beaten egg and mix well. Add 2 cups flour, salt and begin mixing, adding flour in 1/2 cup increments until a sticky dough ball forms.
• Scrape out onto lightly floured board, sprinkle with flour over the top, and knead briefly for a couple of minutes.
• Place into greased bowl, turn over, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight, not to exceed 24 hours.
• Remove from bowl onto lightly floured board, punch down and shape into loaf shape. Place in the center of bread pan, and place in a warm area. Leave the bread alone until it has come to room temperature and risen to twice it's size.
• Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, and then bake in 5 minute increments until the top is browned, and sounds hollow when tapped with your finger. Let cool before removing from bread pan.
