2 cups water
1 cup quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees)
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

BRING 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; stir in oats and
butter. Boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat; let cool
to 110 degrees. STIR together yeast, 1/2 cup warm water, and 1
tablespoon sugar in a 2-cup measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. BEAT
oat mixture, yeast mixture, flour, salt, and brown sugar at medium speed
with an electric mixer until smooth. TURN dough out onto a lightly
floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes).
Place in a well- greased bowl, turning to grease top. COVER and let rise in a
warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until dough is
doubled in bulk. PUNCH dough down, and divide in half; shape each
portion into 16 (1 1/2- inch) balls. Place evenly into 2 lightly
greased 9 x 1 3/4-inch round cake pans. COVER and let rise in a warm place (85
degrees), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake
in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
