6 cups oats
8 cups boiling water

Combine oats and water and let "cook" until cool enough to touch.
Add 2 cups flour and 4 T yeast dissolved in 1 cup water.
Mix and let sit for 3 to 5 hours in a warm, humid place.

Then keep adding flour and kneading until no longer sticky. Usually somewhere between 5-8 pounds. Divide into 6 loaves. Shape and place in oiled bread pans. Let rise 45 minutes in warm place. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
