Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 4 tsp dry yeast
- 2 cup porridge
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup molasses

Instructions
Yield: 6 Loaves. In a small bowl, dissolve granulated sugar in warm water, add yeast and let rise until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, blend together porridge, brown sugar, molasses and oil. To porridge mixture, add yeast mixture, stirring to combine. Add 1 cup flour at a time, stirring to blend well and continue to add flour until dough starts to come clean from the sides of the bowl but is not dry. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until dough is smooth and somewhat elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size. Punch dough down and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape loaves and place two laves each into 6 greased 10 x 6 inch bread pans. Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until double. Bake in a 375F (160C) oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until loaves are golden brown.
