Sweet Bread

The other day we went to Black Angus restaurant and I remembered how much I loved them molasses bread. Warm basket of goodness with a little butter to make it even better. I have been saving the recipe for some time now and today I finally got to the point of making it.

Bad news: I am out of molasses
Good news: I have some dark corn syrup and brown sugar

I know, I know corn syrup can never substitute for molasses. And I was reading somewhere that the corn syrup is just one molecule short of plastic. YUM!!! Most of the items in the super market have it

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (don't forget to take the dough out of the oven first). brush the dough balls with melted butter and sprinkle oats or flax seeds and bake for 30 minutes on the middle rack. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Cut into sliced , spread with butter and dig in
