  • Place oats, molasses, butter, and salt into the bread maker bowl; add the boiling water.
  • Measure 1/4 teaspoon sugar into a small cup and set aside. Pour remaining sugar into the oat mixture and stir. Let mixture cool to about 100 degrees F/38 degrees C, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour warm water into the reserved sugar in the small cup; add yeast.
  • Pour bread flour atop the oat mixture. Pour yeast mixture over the flour.
  • Select Dough setting and press start. Check your owner's manual to see how long the kneading lasts, so you can add raisins to the dough 5 minutes before it finishes kneading. Let the bread maker run the full dough cycle, about 1 hour, though it will depend on your machine.
  • Grease 2 bread pans.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down dough, but do not knead. Separate into two loaves and place in prepared pans; cover each with a damp towel and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 15 to 20 minutes.
