Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
---Oatmeal Dough---
2¼ cup All-purpose flour; (up to 2 3/4)
⅓ cup Quick-cooking oats
¼ cup Granulated sugar
1 Envelope Fleischmann's® active dry or rapidrise, yeast
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Butter or margarine; cut up
¼ cup Milk
¼ cup Water
1 Egg -Filling---
2 tablespoons Butter or margarine; melted
½ cup Packed brown sugar
1½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
½ cup Raisins; optional -Honey Butter Icing---
⅓ cup Sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Butter or margarine; softened
2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

In a large bowl, combine ¾ cup flour, oats, granulated sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat ¼ cup butter, milk and water until very warm (120° to 130° F). Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and ½ cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top of dough.

Cover; let rise in a warm, draft-free place 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled. Punch down dough. (With RapidRise yeast, cover kneaded dough and let rest 10 minutes. Proceed with recipe.) On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 8x18 inches; brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins, if desired, to within ½ inch of edges. Roll up tightly from long side, pinching seam to seal; cut into 9 equal pieces. Place, cut sides up, in greased 8x8-inch pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled.

Bake at 350° F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and softened butter with a fork until blended; stir in honey until smooth. Drizzle or spread on rolls.

Bread Machine Variation (all size machines): Measure dough ingredients into bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer. Use 2⅓ cups all-purpose flour and 1 ½ teaspoons Fleischmann's bread machine yeast.

Process on dough/manual cycle. When complete, remove dough to floured surface; knead in additional flour to make dough easy to handle, if necessary. Roll out dough and proceed as directed above.
