Oatmeal Molasses Bread

Baking your own oatmeal molasses bread is a delightful and rewarding experience, offering several benefits:

1. Control Over Ingredients: You can choose high-quality, organic ingredients, avoid preservatives, and adjust the recipe to suit dietary preferences or restrictions.
2. Freshness: There’s nothing quite like the taste and aroma of freshly baked bread. Home-baked bread is free from the additives and preservatives found in store-bought versions.

5. Cost-Effective: Baking at home can be more economical in the long run, especially if you bake regularly.
