The warm, inviting aroma fills the kitchen as they rise and bake, making them a delightful treat for weekend brunches or family dinners. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, these rolls deliver homemade goodness that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Add oatmeal and butter; simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Pour the oatmeal mixture into a large mixing bowl and let it cool to lukewarm.
  4. Heat the remaining 1/3 cup of water until warm, then stir in the active dry yeast.
  5. To the cooled oatmeal mixture, add brown sugar, white sugar, salt, yeast mixture, and half of the all-purpose flour.
  6. Mix well until the ingredients are combined.
  7. Gradually add enough remaining flour to form a soft, manageable dough.
  8. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  9. Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky, or a little water if too dry.
  10. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
  11. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  12. Punch the dough down to release air.
  13. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into 12 balls.
  14. Place the rolls 1 inch apart on two greased 13x9-inch baking pans.
  15. Cover and let rise until doubled again, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  16. 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.
