Oat Rolls
Equipment
- 1 Stand mixer
- 1 wooden spoon
- 2 large mixing bowls
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 Baking dish
- 1 Wire rack for cooling the rolls
- 1 food thermometer
Ingredients
For the oat rolls:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour to 2 ¾ cups
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 packages active dry yeast ¼-ounce EACH
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg room temperature
For the honey butter:
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoon honey NOTE: For even more buttery rolls, you can add 1 extra tablespoon of melted butter to the honey-butter mixture.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, yeast, and salt.
- In a small saucepan, heat the wet ingredients: water, honey, and 4 tablespoons of butter to 120°-130° F (49°-54° C).
- Add the heated mixture to the dry ingredients. Then beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat on high for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. It will be sticky!
- Turn dough onto a floured work surface. Knead for about 6-8 minutes or just until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place (e.g. oven or microwave) until doubled. It takes about 1 hour!
- Punch down the dough! Turn onto a lightly floured surface and then divide and shape into 24 dough balls. For best results (same size rolls), weigh the dough in grams and divide by 24 to get the weight for each roll. Place in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place until doubled. It takes about 30 minutes!
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375° F (190° C). Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Lastly, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of melted butter and 3 tablespoons of honey. Brush the honey-butter mixture over the tops of the oat rolls. Transfer them from the pan to a cooling rack and serve warm!
Recipe Notes
- To Freeze: Place the cool oat rolls leftovers in a heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To Thaw: Place the bag over the counter, at room temperature, overnight. Serve them as soon as they've thawed or warmed.
- To Warm: Put honey oat dinner rolls in a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover them with loose foil, and bake in a preheated at 300° F (149° C) for about 8-10 minutes.
