In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until it is just lukewarm (about 37°C or 98°F). Stir in the butter and honey until melted and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Sprinkle the instant yeast over the softened oat mixture and stir gently to combine.
Add the milk mixture, salt, whole wheat flour, and half of the all-purpose flour to the bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead, gradually adding the remaining all-purpose flour, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead for 6-8 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round roll and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with additional rolled oats.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
Transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
