Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 1/3 cup whole milk (also warmed to 110°F/43°C)
- 1 tablespoon Platinum Yeast from Red Star (9g)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup old-fashioned whole rolled oats (85g)
- 3 and 1/2 cups bread flour (455g), plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white beaten with 1 teaspoon of water (egg wash)
Instructions
- Whisk together warm water, warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in remaining brown sugar, molasses, butter, oats, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Blend on low, then add remaining flour to form a dough.
- Knead the dough either in the mixer or by hand until smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.
- Let the dough rise in a lightly oiled bowl until doubled in size (about 1.5 to 2 hours).
- Prepare a baking dish (9×13-inch or two 9-inch round pans) by greasing it.
- After rising, punch down the dough, divide into 15 equal pieces, shape into balls, and arrange in the pan touching each other.
- Cover and let rise again until puffy (about 30 to 60 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with oats. Bake for 26-27 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use a flax egg instead of the egg wash.
When storing, keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
To freeze, wrap rolls in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 3 months.
