Directions: |
Directions:In small bowl, dissolve 1 tsp. of the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle in yeast; let stand for 10 mins. or until frothy. Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together remaining sugar, boiling water, rolled oats, butter and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Let cool to lukewarm. Stir in yeast mixture and eggs. With electric mixer, beat in 2 c. of the flour and the whole wheat flour. With a wooden spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface; knead for 8-10 mins. or until smooth and elastic, adding enough of the remaining flour as necessary. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let rise in draft-free place for about 1 hr. or until doubled in bulk.
Punch down dough; turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 12 portions. Shape each into a ball, stretching and pinching dough underneath to make top smooth.. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise for 30-45 mins.
Topping: Brush rolls with egg; sprinkle with rolled oats. Bake in center of 375º oven for 30 mins. or until rolls sound hollow when tapped on bottom. Remove from pans; let cool on racks. |
