Ingredients
  • 1½ Cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • ¾ Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3 Ounces (By Volume) Corn Flour or Fine Corn Meal
  • 3 Ounces Steel Cut Oats
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar (Turbinado or Brown Sugar if you have it)
  • 2 Teaspoons Yeast or 1 Envelope
  • ¾ Teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Milk Warmed to 110 degrees.
Instructions
  1. Measure the first 7 ingredients into the bowl of your stand mixer. Stir to mix well.
  2. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry ingredients.
  3. Make an indentation (called a "well") in the center of the mixture and drop the egg into it. Use a fork to lightly beat the egg keeping it in the indentation as much as possible. Pour the milk over the egg.
  4. Fit your mixer with the dough hook and start on Low speed. Allow mixing to continue for 6 minutes. The dough should come together and leave the sides of the bowl. Is the dough sticking to the bottom of the bowl constantly and look gooey? If so add a tablespoon of flour at a time and mix a bit until the goo is gone (a little sticking to the bottom is OK). If the dough doesn't come together but remains "crumbly", add 2 tablespoons of water at a time and give it a minute of mixing before adding 2 more. Be patient!
  5. At the end of the mixing period, remove the dough and shape it into a ball and set aside for a moment. Wipe out your mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the empty bowl. Put the dough ball in it and turn to coat it with oil all around. Cover with plastic wrap, then a hand towel and put in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. While the dough is rising, grease 9 cups in a muffin pan with butter. You can do this by putting ½ of a thin butter pat into a cup and use your fingers to smear it around thoroughly.
  7. When the dough is ready, knead it on a work surface for 1 minute. Cut the dough into 3 equal sized pieces and cut each piece into 3 more. Roll each piece into a ball between the palms of your hands; place each ball into a prepared muffin cup.
  8. Cover the rolls with a hand towel and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Bake in a 350 degree oven until lightly browned, about 18 - 20 minutes, more depending on altitude. But, don't just set a timer, keep an eye on your handiwork!!
