Ingredients

• 120 grams Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 240 milliliters Boiling water
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 60 milliliters Warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
• 50 grams Honey
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 400 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Salt
• 1 Egg
• 1 Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 15 milliliters Milk (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the rolled oats in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the oats and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to cool down and soften the oats.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in 60 milliliters of warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

Once the oats have cooled to lukewarm, add the honey, melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the oat mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come together.

Step 5

Add the egg to the dough and knead by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, for 8-10 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky but not sticky. Add a little more flour if needed.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, evenly spaced.

Step 8

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the egg and milk, then brush it over the tops of the rolls for a golden shine.

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the oat rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite spread.
