1 c Lukewarm evaporated milk
1 1/2 c Sourdough starter
1/2 c Molasses
1/4 c Honey
4 tb Butter melted
1/2 tb Salt
1 ts Ground allspice
2 c Unprocessed rolled oats

*Raisins are tossed lightly with a little flour. In lg warmed bowl,
combine 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 in flour, 1/2 c at a time, to form a stiff
dough. Turn out onto floured 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 375 for 35-40 mins or until bread tests done. Turn out
