Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious oatmeal rolls:
| Quantity | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Quick-cooking oats |
| 2 cups | Boiling water |
| 1 packet | Dry yeast |
| 1/2 cup | Water (lukewarm, 105-115°F) |
| 1/2 cup | Molasses |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 2 tbsp | Butter |
| 4 1/2 cups | Unbleached all-purpose flour |
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create Gloria’s Oatmeal Rolls:
-
Prepare Oats:
- In a bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats with boiling water.
- Allow the mixture to stand for 1 hour, letting the oats absorb the water and soften.
-
Activate Yeast:
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in lukewarm water (around 105-115°F).
- Once dissolved, add this yeast mixture to the softened oats.
-
Add Flavor:
- To the oats and yeast, add the molasses, salt, and butter.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Incorporate Flour:
- Gradually add the unbleached all-purpose flour to the mixture.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Let it Rise:
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise until doubled in size. This usually takes about 1-1.5 hours.
-
Shape the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a juice glass, cut out individual rolls from the dough.
-
Second Rise:
- Arrange the cut rolls in a large, buttered baking pan (approximately 11×17 inches).
- Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Once the rolls have risen, place the pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Final Touch:
- As soon as the rolls are done baking, brush the tops with a bit of melted butter.
- This not only adds a beautiful sheen but also helps to keep the rolls moist.
-
Enjoy Warm:
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
- These oatmeal rolls are best enjoyed warm, with an extra pat of butter if desired.
