Bread Machine Wheat Rolls with Yogurt & Oats

By Beckylynn

Let the bread machine mix and knead the dough for these yummy whole wheat, oats and yogurt rolls. You can make them ahead, freeze and reheat for serving.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup oats + 2 tablespoons, divided
• 1/2 cup very hot water
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 teaspoons ground flaxseed
• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour blend
• 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

In your bread machine, combine 3/4 cup oats with the water. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT the cream and extra 2 tablespoons of oats.

Run machine on dough setting.

When it’s done, take out the dough and punch it down.

Turn the dough out onto a Silpat baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with butter and cornmeal.

Flatten dough into a circle about 2 inches thick and cut squares with a butter knife. These will be your rolls.

Mold and shape the edges a little then make a shallow criss-cross cut on top of each one, brush with cream and sprinkle with the remaining oats.

Pop the whole pan into the oven, covered by a clean towel, and let rise for one hour. The warmth of a bowl of hot water on the rack under your rolls will help the rising process.

When the rolls have doubled in size, heat the oven to 375°F and bake for about 15 minutes, until golden on top. Then invite friends over immediately.

*To make ahead, bake 12-13 minutes and freeze cooled rolls in a zip-top plastic bag. Pop them in a 375°F oven when you’re ready to serve, about 2-3 minutes.
