Directions:
Soften yeast in warm water. Combine boiling water, 1 cup rolled oats, molasses, shortening, and salt; cool to lukewarm and stir in 2 cups of the flour; beat well. Add the softened yeast and 2 beaten eggs; beat well. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (8-10 minutes). Shape dough into ball.
Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubles in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down; turn out on lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Coat well-greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pans with about 2 tablespoons rolled oats for each pan. Shape dough into loaves. Place loaves in pans. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubles in size (about 45 min to 1 hour).
Brush loaves with mixture of egg white and water; sprinkle tops lightly with rolled oats.
Bake at 375º until done, about 40 min. Cover loosely with foil the last 15 minutes if tops are browning rapidly. Remove from pans and cool on racks.
