Sesame-oat Cinnamon Swirl Loaf

So what does the Christ-honoring, non-materialistic family look like? They invest primarily in the things that will leave this world with them and as a team they are all on this same pursuit. They experience freedom and more time for the things most important because they have limited resources that they own in order not to be owned by them. They experience constant joy because the only source of joy they expect is from the Lord. They do not need to have stuff to impress others because the only person they seek to please is the Lord. They have no compelling love for the shadows of the world because their hearts see the true Substance, the beauty of God’s marvelous light. They have their priorities right: things are to be used and people are to be loved. They are content people following Christ and therefore have a great family because their mutual trust is not in material things which will let us down, but in the One who always delivers.

INSTRUCTIONS

In large mixing bowl, combine boiling water and rolled oats. Place
sesame seeds in small fry pan. Toast over medium heat, stirring
frequently, until seeds are golden, 3-5 minutes. Stir seeds into oat
mixture.  In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; add brown
sugar, and let  stand 5 minutes until yeast bubbles. Stir in the
butter, salt and  cooled oat mixture. Add whole wheat flour and beat in
the all-purpose  flour until mixture makes a stiff dough. Let rest 15
minutes.  Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead for 10 minutes,
until  smooth and satiny. Wash bowl, grease it, and add dough to bowl;
turn  over to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1
hour.  Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll each out to make a
rectangle  8x12"; sprinkle each half with half the cinnamon. Roll up
tightly.  Seal seams and ends. Grease two 8-1/2x4-1/2" loaf pans. Let
rise  until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Heat oven to 375'F.
Bake  until loaves are golden and sound hollow when tapped, 30-35
minutes.  Remove immediately from pans. Cool on wire racks.  Makes 2
loaves; serves 24.  From Tuscon area newspapers, 1994, 3rd quarter,
