Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for brushing tops)
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Sprinkle the yeast over the top of the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add 1 cup of flour, rolled oats, salt, melted butter, and the beaten egg to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 6-inch long bun for a classic Subway-style shape.
Place the shaped buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the buns with milk and sprinkle a small amount of rolled oats on each bun.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before slicing and using for sandwiches.
