yeast
1 tablespoon (active dry yeast)

sugar
1/4 cup (granulated sugar)
salt

egg
1 (beaten)
oil
3 tablespoons (vegetable oil or melted butter)

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, salt, quick-cooking rolled oats, beaten egg, and oil. Stir well to combine.

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix thoroughly.

Gradually add 2 1/4 cups of the bread flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, gradually incorporating the remaining flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Once risen, punch down the dough and then divide it into equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking pan, ensuring some space between each roll.

Allow the shaped rolls to rise again in a warm place for about one hour, or until they have doubled in size.
