1 c Lukewarm evaporated milk
1 1/2 c Sourdough starter
1/2 c Molasses
1/4 c Honey
4 tb Butter melted
1/2 tb Salt
1 t Ground allspice
2 c Unprocessed rolled oats
3/4 c Raisins*
2 1/2 c White flour

*Raisins are tossed lightly with a little flour. In lg
warmed bowl, combine milk, starter, molasses, honey,
butter, salt and allspice. Gradually add oats, a small
amount at a time, mixing in well, then stir in
raisins. Beat in flour, 1/2 c at a time, to form a
stiff dough. Turn out onto floured board and knead 5-7
min, adding additional flour only as needed to prevent
sticking. Form into smooth ball, place in oiled bowl,
turn to coat all surfaces, cover with dampened towel
and let rise in warm place at least 2 hr or until
double in bulk. Punch down, turn out onto board and
knead briefly. Cover with towel and let rise 10 mins.
Divide dough into 2 equal portions, form into loaves
and place in 2 #2 loaf pans. Cover with towel and let
rise in warm place 1-1/2 hr or until almost double in
size. Bake at 375 for 35-40 mins or until bread tests
done. Turn out onto wire rack, turn right side up and
cool.
