Recipe: Honey Whole Wheat Rolls (using oats)

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT ROLLS
"A whole wheat roll that's light and airy and thanks to honey, a little sweeter. The secret: blending all-purpose flour with the whole wheat flour."


2 envelopes Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats, uncooked
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups water (very warm 120 to 130 degrees F)
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1/3 cup corn oil
Egg wash: 1 egg plus 1 tablespoon water mixed

Spray baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.

Combine yeast, flours, oats and salt in a large mixing bowl; set aside.

Stir honey and oil into 1 1/4 cups warm water and pour into flour mixture. Add 1 egg and mix for 3 to 5 minutes at medium speed in an upright mixer with dough hook scraping sides as needed until a soft dough forms. Dough should clean sides of mixing bowl without sticking.

Knead on clean surface with lightly oiled hands OR continue mixing in stand mixer with dough hook for 3 minutes.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces rolling each piece into a ball. Arrange on prepared baking sheet 1-inch apart. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with additional oats if desired. Place in a warm draft free area to rise for 20 to 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown on top.
