Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

2 c water
1 c quick cooking oats
3 T butter
1 pkg (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
1/3 c warm water
1/3 c packed brown sugar
1 T white sugar
1 1/2 t salt
4 3/4 to 5 1/4 c all purpose flour

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil add oats and butter. Cook and stir for one minute. Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm. In a mixing bow, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the oat mixture, sugars, salt and 4 c of the flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour. Punch dough down; allow to rest for ten minutes. Shape into 18 balls. Place in two greased 9-inch round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire racks. Make 1 1/2 dozen.
