- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 tbsp salad oil
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp dry yeast

- Punch down the dough and raise again until doubled in size.
- Punch dough down the dough and form into rolls. Place the formed rolls on a cookie sheet and allow to raise, lightly covered, in a draft free place until doubled in size.
