Instructions

To Make Dough in a Bread Machine:

Combine all ingredients in a 2-lb bread machine in the order listed.
Run the dough cycle (if your machine has an option of dough cycles, choose the “short” one).

To Make Dough In a Stand Mixer:

Add warm water and yeast to the bowl of your stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Add remaining ingredients and mix until a sticky dough ball forms.
Continue mixing for 3-5 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes.

To Make Rolls:

Punch down dough and gather into one large ball.
Divide dough into 24 even pieces and roll them into balls with floured hands (you can weigh them if you want them to be perfectly uniform.
Place dough balls into a greased 9″x13″ pan, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes.
While rolls rise, preheat over to 350ºF.
Once rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown (cover with foil if necessary the last few minutes to prevent over-browning).
Remove rolls from over and lightly brush the tops of warm rolls with melted butter.
Serve warm with more butter!

Notes

The addition of oatmeal and whole wheat flour gives these tall, fluffy rolls a hearty boost! I sometimes substitute wheat germ or wheat bran in place of some of the whole wheat flour for a little different twist.

These freeze beautifully!
