These fluffy rolls go perfectly with any meal. They have a delicious homemade flavor that's irresistible. I like them because they're not hard to make and they bake up nice and high. -Patricia Staudt, Marble Rock, Iowa

  • 18 Servings
  • Prep: 40 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4-3/4 to 5-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  • In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; add oats and butter. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm.
  • In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oat mixture, sugars, salt and 4 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Shape into 18 balls. Place in two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire racks. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

These are absolutely the very best dinner rolls ever! And yes, friends and family who were at our wedding reception in 2007 STILL rave about these delicious rolls.

These rolls are AWESOME! This was my first time making bread that required kneading and rising, and it was so simple and turned out GREAT! These will be my new staple for family dinners.

These are absolutely delicious! My husband's cousin made these for the family reunion and I raved about how good they were, not knowing she baked them. She made them for our wedding reception and even two years later, people remember them! :-)

In my opinion, the best roll recipe ever printed in the magazine's history.

Anytime I find a recipe with brown sugar in it I substitute the liquid with pureed fruit. On this recipe I pureed a can of peaches, juice and all, and measured 2 cups of it instead of 2 cups of water. Dough is a little stiffer but it works out ok.
