Light Whole Wheat Sourdough Oatmeal Rolls
The recipe name says it all, except for a touch of honey and molasses in the dough. You can shape the rolls any way you want, but I like to roll them and place them close together, so they rise next to each other. Eat them with honey butter for a real treat. Makes 12 dinner rolls. Ingredients
- 1/4 cup warm water (105-115 F)
- 2 tbs. honey
- 2 tsp. yeast
- 1/2 cup active (fed) starter
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/2 tbs. molasses
- 2 tbs. melted butter or butter flavored Crisco
- 1/4 cup instant oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup AP flour, plus more
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- egg glaze:
- 1 beaten egg
- 4 tsp. water
- oatmeal flakes
Directions
- Proof the yeast in the water and honey.
- In a mixing bowl, add the egg, beat it, then add starter and butter. Mix.
- Add all dry ingredients, stir.
- Add enough AP flour until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Flour a work area and knead dough 5 minutes, adding a bit of flour, until you have a firm dough.
- Cover and let rise until doubled.
- Punch down and form into desired shapes.
- Let rise a second time until doubled.
- Heat oven to 375 F.
- Make glaze and brush on tops of rolls. Sprinkle on oatmeal flakes.
