Oat Dinner Rolls - image needed

from Rachel

2 c quick oats (I use regular if I don't have quick and they are good too)

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 c butter, cubed

1 T salt

3 c boiling water

2 T yeast

1 c whole wheat flour

5 c all-purpose flour (I use part bread flour)

Additional butter, melted

Combine in Bosch: oats, brown sugar, butter, and salt.  Mix in boiling water.  Cool to 110-115 degrees.  Add wheat flour and yeast.  Mix in enough remaining flour to form soft and slightly sticky dough.  Knead 8 minutes in Bosch. 

Cover and rise about an hour (finger indentation in risen dough should remain.)  Punch down.  Turn onto lightly floured surface.  Divide into 24 pieces and shape into balls.  Place 15 balls in greased 9x13 pan and 9 balls in greased 8x8 pan.  Cover and rise about 45 minutes.  Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove pan to wire rack; brush rolls with melted butter.

Note:  These freeze very well.  Simply thaw on counter or even in the microwave, then reheat in the oven (about 350 for 10 minutes).

Also, you can refrigerate the dough overnight.  Punch down and shape the next day; rise about 2 hours before baking.

I love breads made with oats and whole grain. These are soft and yummy.
