Directions
-
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
-
Add oatmeal and butter; simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
-
Pour the oatmeal mixture into a large mixing bowl and let it cool to lukewarm.
-
Heat the remaining 1/3 cup of water until warm, then stir in the active dry yeast.
-
To the cooled oatmeal mixture, add brown sugar, white sugar, salt, yeast mixture, and half of the all-purpose flour.
-
Mix well until the ingredients are combined.
-
Gradually add enough remaining flour to form a soft, manageable dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
-
Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky, or a little water if too dry.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
-
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
-
Punch the dough down to release air.
-
Divide the dough in half and shape each half into 12 balls.
-
Place the rolls 1 inch apart on two greased 13x9-inch baking pans.
-
Cover and let rise until doubled again, about 45 to 60 minutes.
-
Bake at 350&# 194;°F (177ðC) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Note
Storage: Store cooled rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Substitutions: You can use quick-cooking oats instead of regular oatmeal if you adjust the simmering time slightly.
Tip: Ensure the water used for the yeast is warm (105-115ðF), not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
Variation: Brush tops with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven for a softer crust.
