Oatmeal Rolls with Honey Butter

This is a homemade roll recipe from my sister's mother-in-law. I make these for every holiday or special meal and my family wouldn't have it any other way! They are the best served with the honey butter.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 cups boiling water
• 4 teaspoons salt
• 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ⅔ cup lukewarm water
• 8 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir boiling water and oats together in a bowl; set aside to thicken and cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir brown sugar and vegetable oil into oat mixture.

Step 3

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Stir yeast mixture and salt into oat mixture. Beat flour, 1 cup at a time, into oat mixture until dough is soft. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel; let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Punch dough down and form into rolls; arrange on baking sheets. Let rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Step 6

Bake rolls in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 7

Beat butter, honey, and cinnamon together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Serve honey butter with rolls.
