Here is the recipe. I have made these for over 20 yrs. I can't remember where I got it.
3c apple jiuce
2 c raisins
1/2 c butter or margarine
2 pks reg yeast ( sub 5tsp active dry)
3t vanilla
2 eggs lrg
6c unbleach flour
1c reg oatmeal
1c mashed pot flakes
1c powdered milk
1c chopped nuts I use pecans
1/3 c sugar
3tsp salt regular
1tsp cinnamon
Heat juice and soften raisins in the juice. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 c warm water. Check temp and when it is 110 add yeast, butter, sugar, salt cinn. and eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Have the flour, potato, milk powder, oatmeal in another large bowl. Pour all liquid in and stir to make a mass. Will clean bowl. May sprinkle on more flour as you go but should be a nice soft pliable dough. I usually spray my hands with oil as I knead. It becomes lovely after 10 min or so. Knead in nuts. Let rise 1 -1 1/2 hrs. This rises beautifully. de gas and shape boules Makes 4 loaves. Rise again 1 1/2 hrs. Bake at 350 for 50 min. Cover with foil if gets too dark at the end. I also double this recipe and use a 13 qt bowl. It is a WORK OUT ! caroline
