2 packages yeast active dry
1/2 cup water warm (105° to 115°)
1 1/2 cups water boiling
1 cup oats old-fashioned
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
7 tablespoons butter soft
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
5 1/2 cups flour
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon ground

In a cup, dissolve yeast in warm water let stand 5 minutes or until foamy.

In a large bowl, stir boiling water, oats, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of the butter and salt until lukewarm. Beat in eggs, 2 cups of the flour, raisins and yeast mixture. Stir in remaining flour gradually until a stiff dough is formed. On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl turn to coat surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

Mix sugar and cinnamon. On a floured surface, roll half of the dough into a 15 x 9-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons butter, sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar mixture and roll from short side. Place in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 -inch loaf pan. Repeat with second half.

Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.

Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until well browned. Cool.
