Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

Aaron made this for a Sunday dinner a few weeks ago! They were so good! I think he followed the recipe. But I guess I should ask. I think he ended up using more flour than it called for.

Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  1. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; add oats and butter. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oat mixture, sugars, salt and 4 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Shape into 18 balls. Place in two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire racks.
