If you’re in a hurry on a Sunday morning, this recipe for quick wheat rolls with oatmeal topping is just the thing! The combination of wheat flour and rolled oats gives the rolls a unique texture and distinctive flavour. The delicate oat flakes on the surface provide a light bite and a pleasant roasted flavour. Oat flakes are also rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals – a healthy addition to your Sunday breakfast!
To get the fresh Sunday rolls on the table quickly, we only use a few ingredients and divide the dough into 9 equal-sized dough pieces immediately after kneading. These are decorated with the oat flakes and then left to rise in a warm place for just 20 minutes. Despite the short rising time, the yeast used makes the bread rolls rise beautifully, so that fresh, fragrant bread rolls are on the breakfast table in no time at all.
Of course, there are many recipe ideas for homemade bread rolls. Many of them are suitable for beginners, including this recipe. However, the absolute highlight of these rolls is the oatmeal topping. The oat flakes are sprinkled generously over the dough pieces before baking and not only give them a crispy crust, but also a slightly nutty flavour. This gives your bread roll a very special flavour in just a few simple steps and is a real taste sensation. Crispy, juicy and full of flavour – these rolls are the perfect start to the day.
Mix all the ingredients together and knead into a homogeneous dough.
Immediately after kneading, cut off pieces of dough of approx. 90g each and shape into patties.
Dip the dough pieces briefly in water and then roll in the rolled oats. Sprinkle the oats on a large plate, for example, or use another surface.
Then place the dough pieces on baking paper and leave to rise for 20 minutes at room temperature in a warm place.
Just before baking, cut deep into each dough piece to allow the moisture to escape during baking.
Preheat the oven to 200° fan and boil some water in the kettle at the same time
Fill an ovenproof dish with the boiled water and place it on the bottom of the oven. Place the baking tray with the prepared dough pieces in the oven immediately afterwards.
After 5 minutes, carefully remove the bowl with the water from the oven and set aside.
Then bake the rolls for a further 10-15 minutes until crispy.
