From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The Silver Fox had one of his favorite meals tonight - smoked sausage with really, really sour sauerkraut. Though I have tried to eat it with the same gusto he displays, a little of it goes a long way for me. So, I, instead, opted for a large salad, some soup and oatmeal dinner rolls that I experimented with this afternoon. I'm in the throes of spring cleaning and my task for the day was cleaning my kitchen cabinets. Since I'd be in the kitchen anyway, I thought it would be a great day to bake some bread. I had seen a recipe for oatmeal dinner rolls in Taste of Home magazine, and since I don't have a lot of bread recipes that use oatmeal, I thought I'd give the rolls a try. I liked the base recipe but thought it sounded a bit bland, so I added some whole wheat flour, some molasses and slightly increased the amount of salt I used to prepare the rolls. This is an easy recipe. As a matter of fact your mixer will do most of the work. I thought the rolls, which turned out to be light and fluffy, needed additional baking time to assure they were not damp and gummy, so I gave them an additional 5 minutes. These are tasty rolls and I'll be making them again. I hope you'll give them a try. Here is how they are made.
