• combine oats, molasses, oil, salt and boiling water. let cool to about 105 degrees f.
• dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes or until creamy. stir the yeast into oat mixture and mix well. add whole wheat flour, 2 cups bread flour, and the eggs. mix until well combined.
• stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. turn dough out to a floured counter and knead for about 10 minutes. place the dough in a well-greased bowl and cover with greased plastic wrap. let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight.
• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). grease 3 regular loaf pans and 4 mini loaf pans.
• transfer the dough a floured surface and divide it into 4 pieces. shape the dough into loaves and place them in the pans, seam-side down. let rise until doubled, about 90 minutes. bake in the preheated oven until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes.
