Oatmeal Dinner Rolls
Modified from Guideposts

 

2 cups water

1 cup dry quick oats

3 tbsp butter

2 1/4 tsp dry yeast (which is 1 pkg...I just have a big bag so I changed this to tsps)

1/3 cup warm water

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

4 3/4 to 5 1/4 cups flour

 

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to boil. Add oats and butter. Cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat.  Cool to lukewarm. 

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/3 cup warm water.  Add cooled oats mixture, sugars, salt and 4 cups flour.  Beat until smooth. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.  Turn onto floured surface; knead 6-8 minutes, kneading in more flour, until smooth and elastic.

Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.  Punch down.  Let rest 10 minutes.  Shape into 18 balls (or whatever you get...I ended up with like 26...probably just that I make small balls).  Place in greased ban (it says 9-inch round baking pan, I used muffin tins).  Cover. Let rise until double, about 45 minutes.  Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool.

Makes 18 (or so) rolls
