- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup quick rolled oats
- 2 TBSP molasses
- 3 TBSP dry milk
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour {I use bread flour}
- 3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 TBSP shortening
- 3/4 tsp salt
Dissolve yeast and molasses in warm water and let proof until foamy- about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, leaving the flour as the last addition. You'll want the dough to be slightly stick, so make sure to add the flour slowly. You might only need 3 cups of whole wheat flour if the dough looks like it's getting too firm.
Punch down dough and knead lightly. Roll out until dough is about 1/2 inch thin. Cut strips using a pizza cutter. Roll strips and place seam side down on a greased cookie sheet. I normally just do my best rolling out a rectangle, then just cutting strips. This time around I tried to make them more similar in size, first cutting the rounded sides off. My opinion; skip trying to be pretty. My rolls still ended up different sizes and I could have saved 10 minutes!
Allow to rise for 30-40 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
