Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 3.5 cups Bread flour
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the rolled oats, boiling water, unsalted butter, honey, and salt. Stir until the butter is melted and everything is well combined. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm (about 15 minutes).
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water (110°F/45°C). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cooled oatmeal mixture, the yeast mixture, and the egg. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the bread flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead the dough by hand or with a dough hook attachment on low speed for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll for spreading.
Cover the rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread!
