Soft and Sweet Honey Oat Dinner Rolls

These dinner rolls are made with wholesome oats and sweet honey, resulting in a deliciously soft texture. The recipe takes about 2 hours from start to finish, including rising time, and makes 12 rolls.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup honey
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and honey. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: If desired, brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm.
