Oat Wheaten Rolls

One night last weekend, Ryan wanted soup and tuna sandwiches for dinner, and he enlisted his brothers in the campaign.  Of course, I complied; why would I not?  I needed good sandwich rolls for this dinner, and came up with these.

OAT WHEATEN ROLLS

1-1/2 cups warm water
2 tbsp yeast
3 cups white flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1 tbsp powdered milk
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil

Put the water in your bread machine bucket or mixing bowl; sprinkle the yeast over it and add the remaining ingredients in order.  Follow my bread making directions to make the dough.  Let it rise for 15 minutes after kneading, punch down, split into 16 pieces.  Roll each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet.  Allow them to rise until doubled in size, about 15 to 20 minutes, while the oven preheats to 375F (350F for a convection oven).  Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending upon how dark you want your rolls.  Let them stand for a couple of minutes before you try to cut them!

These were really good.  The picture is the rolls that were left after dinner, so you know the boys liked them.  And those were gone the next day.  Best of all, no one guessed they're actually good for them!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
