1 cup (250 mL) ROGERS PORRIDGE OATS & HEALTHY GRAINS | |
½ cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar | |
1½ tsp (7 mL) salt | |

1¼ cups (300 mL) boiling water | |

ROGERS PORRIDGE OATS & HEALTHY GRAINS give these sizable rolls a delicious crunch. They’re great as hearty burger buns, or a sweet-savoury snack with fruit and Greek yogurt.
1. | In a small bowl or measuring cup, dissolve 1 tsp (5 mL) granulated sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over top and let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes. |
2. | In a large bowl, combine ROGERS PORRIDGE OATS & HEALTHY GRAINS, ½ cup (125 mL) brown sugar, salt, butter, and boiling water. Stir until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Let cool to lukewarm. Stir in yeast mixture and eggs with a fork or an electric mixer. |
3. | Stir or beat in 2 cups (500 mL) ROGERS UNBLEACHED ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR and all of the ROGERS WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR. With a wooden spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough |
4. | Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes, adding the remaining flour as necessary, until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; turn dough to grease all over. |
5. | Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. |
6. | Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 portions. Shape each portion into a ball, stretching and pinching the dough underneath to make the balls uniform with smooth tops. |
7. | Place 2 inches (5 cm) apart on greased or baking paper-lined baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. |
8. | Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). |
9. | Brush rolls with egg and sprinkle ROGERS PORRIDGE OATS & HEALTHY GRAINS over top. Bake in the centre of the oven until rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 30 minutes. |
10. | Remove rolls from baking sheets and let cool on a wire rack. |
