Oatmeal Dinner Rolls w/Honey Butter

Oatmeal Dinner Rolls - ButterYum. easy dinner rolls recipe. soft dinner roll recipe. how to make dinner rolls from scratch. the best dinner rolls. oatmeal bread recipe. scratch dinner rolls. billowy dinner rolls. sweet dinner roll recipe.

This dinner roll recipe was given to me by a very good friend. She got the original recipe from a magazine, but tweaked it a bit to her liking. She said this one recipe alone was worth all the years she paid to subscribe to the magazine - lol. Anyway, I don’t know how she tweaked the recipe, but it’s perfect. The rolls are soft, billowy, and just slightly sweet like a good dinner roll should be. We especially like to eat them while they’re still warm, slathered with homemade honey butter.

Disclaimer: My photos for this post aren’t as sharp as usual. I had been messing with my camera settings one evening and completely forgot to reset them during this shoot the next day. Normally I would reshoot the photos, but I had been promising this recipe to my newsletter subscribers for a couple of months, and now that we’re eating low-carb, I probably won’t make it again until next year so, against my better judgement, I’m posting them as-is because I know many of my blog visitors find step-by-step photos helpful. Thanks for understanding!

dry-oats

This amazing roll recipe starts with old fashioned oats….

As well as salt, butter, and brown sugar.

The oats are cooked in boiling water for a full minute…

I love watching oats plump up as they cook.

Then the oat mixture is removed from the heat so the salt, butter, and brown sugar can be stirred in.

Set the oatmeal mixture aside for now.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water and instant yeast (bread machine or quick/rapid-rise yeast can be substituted).

Add the remaining addition of flour and mix until combined.

After the 2nd mixing, the dough should look like this.

kneading-dinner-roll-dough-butteryum

Continue kneading for 6 minutes until the dough looks like this. Place dough in a covered, oiled bowl and allow to rise for 1 hour (this is an excellent time to pull out your bread proofing box - otherwise, place in a warm, draft-free place).

Divide dough into 12 portions and roll each into a dinner roll using a cupped hand (fingers curved down towards your work surface). Place the rolls evenly on an oiled quarter sheet pan; cover with oiled plastic wrap and rise for 45-60 additional minutes, then bake until golden brown. Enjoy!
