Dinner rolls that boast nutty whole-grain flavor and are also fluffy and moist? Yes, it's possible. We started by soaking old-fashioned rolled oats in hot water. During a short rest the oats absorbed most of the water, effectively locking it away. Whole-wheat flour boosted the nutty flavor profile, while some white bread flour added structure. Adding even more water made for a highly hydrated dough that was still easy to handle. Nestling the dough balls close together ensured that they supported each other in upward rather than outward expansion. That mutual support, along with the transformation of water to steam during the bake, yielded dinner rolls that contained the best of both worlds: light, soft, plush texture along with whole-grain complexity.
