Soften yeast in lukewarm water. (Use warm water for dry yeast.) Pour
scalded milk over sugar, salt, shortening and molasses. Cool to lukewarm.
Stir in 1 cup flour. Add softened yeast and oats. Stir in enough more

satiny, about 10 minutes. Round dough into ball; place in greased bowl;
brush lightly with melted shortening. Cover and let rise in warm place
until double in size, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down; cover; let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half; shape
each half to form a loaf. Place in greased 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" loaf
pans. Brush lightly with melted shortening. Cover; let rise until nearly
double in size, about 45 minutes. Bake in preheated moderate oven
(350 F.) about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans; brush
with melted butter. Cool.
