3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (3 1/2 to 4 cups)
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 package Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
2 teaspoons orange peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3/4 cup chopped dates or pitted dates, snipped
1 egg, lightly beaten
Servings: 16
1. In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, oats, undissolved yeast, orange peel and salt. Heat water, honey and butter until very warm (125º to 130ºF). Add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes at high speed.

2. With spoon, stir in dates and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth, about 4 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough to 13- × 9-inches. Roll up from short end as for jelly roll; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place loaf, seam side down, on greased baking sheet; flatten slightly to form oval. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 30 to 40 minutes.

3. Brush with beaten egg. Make 3 diagonal slashes on top of loaf. Bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack.


Yield: 1 Loaf
Baking Time: 30 minutes
