makes 1 dozen rolls
These rolls are even oatier than the Toasted Oat Bread. Basically, I deconstructed a bowl of oatmeal right down to the brown sugar, cream, and butter that I love on my warm porridge on a cold winter’s day. The secret is toasting steel-cut oats and then using them in both the starter and the dough. For the starter, they’re made into oatmeal. They’re added to the dough in two forms: ground into a toasted oat flour, and also whole, to provide a little crunch. The heavy cream in the dough creates a soft and sweet effect, as comforting as a warm bowl of, well, oatmeal.
