—ARLENE BUTLER OGDEN, UT



PREP: 45 MIN. + RISING BAKE: 20 MIN. MAKES: 2 DOZEN


1/2 to 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

1/4 cup honey

5 tablespoons butter, divided

1 egg

1. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water, honey and 4 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add egg; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 24 balls. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

4. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush over rolls. Remove from pan to a wire rack.
