Honey-Oat Pan Rolls

My favorite pan rolls.

2-1/2 to 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 packages active dry yeast
1 t salt
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
5 T butter, divided
1 egg

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the water, honey and 4 tablespoons butter to 120-130 degrees. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until well combined. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down. Turn onto lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Melt remaining butter; brush over the rolls. Remove from pan to wire rack.

Makes two dozen.
