Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water, oats and 3 tablespoons of butter to a boil. Cook and stir for 4-5 minutes, until soft. If using quick cooking oats, cook and stir for one minute. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm (stirring occasionally).
Meanwhile, add warm water to a small bowl and add yeast, stirring to dissolve. Pour dissolved yeast into bowl of mixer and add sugars, mix on low to combine. Once oat mixture has cooled, stir in salt. Add oat mixture to yeast mixture, mixing on low to combine. Add 4 cups of flour, on low. Mix until smooth. If needed add 1/4 cup of additional flour at a time to achieve a soft dough.
If you have a dough hook attachment, swap it in and knead the dough for 6-8 minutes on low, until smooth and elastic. If you do not have a dough hook, remove from mixer onto floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes by hand. Place dough in a medium to large generously greased bowl (can be sprayed, but I like to use a little oil), turning dough once to grease the top of the dough ball.
Cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and set in warm place to rise until doubled, about 45-60 minutes. Once doubled, punch dough down; allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Segment dough into 18 pieces and shape pieces into dough balls of similar size. Place dough balls in two, greased 9 inch round baking pans. Brush tops with melted butter (optional). Cover with plastic wrap and return to warm place to double, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan from oven to wire racks and brush tops with melted butter (optional) and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Serve warm with honey butter.
HONEY BUTTER
Add one stick of softened butter with 1/4 cup of honey. Using a small spatula or spoon mix butter and honey together until smooth. Store in fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
