Oatmeal Rolls are fluffy homemade dinner rolls made with half whole wheat flour and oats! The perfect bread to go with any dinner.
So are we loving this weather or what?! (Those of you still have 90+ degree, I am sorry. You can come stay with me.) We actually had snow in our forecast this past weekend and although we didn’t get any, it was crazy cold and definitely soup weather! I made a big ol’ pot of soup and these rolls to go along with it.
The rolls were perfect soup rolls! I love oat breads because while the oats aren’t really obvious, they add a certain almost nuttiness to the bread. They were super soft and perfect for sopping up that last little bit of soup left in the bowl.
Ingredients
- Boiling water – the oats get soaked in boiling water to soften them before they go into the dough.
- Old fashioned oats – make sure they are old fashioned, not quick or steel cut.
- Vegetable oil
- Brown sugar
- Molasses
- Active-dry yeast
- All-purpose flour
- Whole wheat flour – this bread is half whole wheat flour if that sort of thing is important to you.
How To Make Oatmeal Rolls
- Soak oats. Stir together boiling water, oats, vegetable oil, and salt. Let side for about a minute; add cold water. Stir until slightly cooled.
- Make dough. Pour into the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add brown sugar, molasses, and yeast. Add all-purpose flour and beat till smooth. Add whole wheat flour and continue beating until the dough comes together. Switch to dough hook. Allow the mixer to knead the dough for 6 – 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Transfer. Transfer dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover and allow to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Shape. Divide the dough into 24 even pieces and shape into rolls. Place in greased pan(s). Cover and let rise for another hour, or until doubled.
- Bake. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, or until browned.
- Top. Brush with butter as soon as the come out of the oven if desired.
