Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water (110°F)
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Extra rolled oats (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the oats soften.

Step 2

Add the butter, honey, salt, and milk to the oatmeal mixture. Stir until the butter is melted. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water (110°F). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture to the oatmeal mixture and stir to combine.

Step 5

Beat the egg lightly and add it to the mixture. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-6 minutes.

Step 7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it once to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until they are puffy and touching each other.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with a little milk and sprinkle the extra rolled oats over them.

Step 11

Bake the rolls for 16-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
