Soften yeast in lukewarm water. (Use warm water for dry yeast.) Pour scalded milk over sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 1 cup flour. Add softened yeast and oats.

Round dough into ball; place in greased bowl; brush lightly with melted shortening. Cover and let rise in warm place until double in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; cover; let rest 10 minutes. Shape to form loaves (see below). Brush lightly with melted shortening. Cover; let rise in warm place until nearly double in size, about 40 minutes for large loaves and 30 minutes for small loaves. Bake in preheated moderate oven (375 F.) 45 to 50 minutes for large loaves and about 30 minutes for small loaves. Remove from pans; brush with melted butter. Cool. For LARGE LOAVES, divide dough in half. Shape each half to form a loaf. Place in greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 loaf pans. For MINIATURE LOAVES, divide dough into 8 parts. Shape each part to form a loaf. Place in greased 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 x 2 loaf pans. Makes 2 large or 8 miniature loaves.
