Oatmeal Bread Rolls

Yummy and a great way to use up some oatmeal.

2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats, traditional
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup butter
2½ teaspoons table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast
5½ cups flour

In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, oats, brown sugar, honey, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Let cool to about 120-130 degrees.

Add the yeast and let proof a few minutes, then add flour, stirring to form a rough dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and satiny.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.

Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a 12 rolls.  Cover again and let rise.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, removing when golden brown.
