1 c. water
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. regular oats, uncooked
2 pkgs. dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Combine water, honey, and butter in a small saucepan; heat until butter melts. Cool to 120 degrees. Combine wheat flour, oats, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well. Gradually add hot liquid mixture, beating at low speed of an electric mixer for one minute.

Add egg, and beat an additional 2 minutes at medium speed. Gradually add all- purpose flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes). Shape dough into 24 balls; place in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
