Oatmeal Honey Whole Wheat Rolls

If you are afraid of making homemade bread, then here is a recipe for you.  I have posted Mother's Oatmeal Bread recipe a while back, which is a staple here at our house.  It doesn't take much effort and minimal amounts of ingredients.  We love it with homemade soups, toast in the morning and our favorite, french toast!
Well this past week I came across a similar recipe but for rolls.  Now I love to make rolls because the kids can take them the next day as snacks or I will use them for mini sandwiches in the kids' lunch boxes.  I love when a recipe uses honey instead of the processed white sugar, which this does as well.  Mike loved this recipe and told me not to loose this one!  Maddie took them for a snack the next day and the boys ate one after school, I love no waste!!  I hope your family loves them as much as mine did!

Oatmeal Honey Whole Wheat Rolls
adapted from http://www.ahintofhoney.com


INGREDIENTS
2 cups water, divided
1 cup old-fashioned oats
3 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
1/3 cup honey
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
2-2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour

1 egg + 1 Tbsp. water, whisked for egg wash
old-fashioned oats for sprinkling (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil; add oats and butter. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm.

2. In a large bowl, dissolve honey and yeast in warm water. Add the cooled oat mixture, salt and all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Slowly add the whole wheat flour to form a soft dough.

3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes, adding more whole wheat flour as necessary. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1-2 hours.

4. Punch dough down; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Shape into 15-18 balls. Place in two greased 9-in. round baking pans (or a 9x13 pan). Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Just before baking, brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with oats.

5. Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on wire racks.

Makes 12 rolls.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
