Oatmeal Dinner Rolls
2 c. water
1 c. dry quick oats
3 T butter or margarine
1 package dry yeast
1/3 c. warm water
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1 T. sugar
1 t. salt
5-6 c. flour
In saucepan, bring 2 c. water to a boil. Add oats and butter. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/3 c. warmish water. Add cooled oats mixture, sugars, salt and 4 c. flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough flour to make a soft dough.
At this point, I deviate from the recipe. It says to turn onto a floured surface and knead, adding additional flour for 6-8 minutes. But because my mixer is a big heavy-duty contraption with an attachment for kneading bread dough, I just used that for about 5 minutes and added additional flour as it was working the dough until it started to clean the sides of the bowl.
Place in a greased bowl, turning over to grease the top. Cover and let rise for about an hour in a warm place (until double in size).
Punch down. Let rest for 10 minutes. Then shape into 18 balls. Place them in a greased round pan (I actually made 3 pans of rolls out of this one recipe).
Cover and let rise again until double (about 45 minutes or longer). (Be sure they are rising in a warm place)
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. When you remove them from the oven, brush the tops with butter. Enjoy!!
