Oatmeal Dinner Rolls

This recipe originally came from the owners of Freedom Mountain Academy, a boarding school in the beautiful Appalachian mountains. I don't have the original, or a copy of it, so I am not sure how much I have changed the recipe, but I give credit to Patricia, for her amazing recipes, and the wonderful food cooked on wood stoves, and without electricity (so, no bread machines.)

Oatmeal Dinner Rolls
1/2 C water
2 TBS vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/4 C sugar
1 C cooked oatmeal, or other cereal
(leftover from breakfast)
2 C bread flour
1 C whole wheat flour
1/4 C powdered milk
1 1/2 t. salt
2 t. yeast

Put the ingredients, in order listed above, in your bread machine, select "dough" cycle. As the machine kneads the dough, check it once or twice, is it too dry? add water a tablespoon at a time, too wet? add flour, it should stick together in one piece as it is kneaded. When done, knead dough on a floured surface about 10 times, then separate into rolls. Spray a glass 13x9 cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, set rolls into pan, let rise 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size. Cook at 350 until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes.
