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

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
