Mom's Rolls--Aunt Sue's Recipe

I keep getting requests for this recipe, so I'm sharing!  My mom got this recipe from my Aunt Sue a couple years back, and they've quickly become a family favorite. 

Buns:

In a quart bowl:

3 cups water boiling

1 cup brown sugar

1 and 1/2  cups rolled oats

mix the above and let set until lukewarm

In a large bowl add:1/3 cup of yeast or 3 pkgs. yeast and 1/2 cup water

let set for 5 to 10 minutes, then mix with a wire whisk

add brown sugar and oat mixture along with 3 eggs to yeast mixture

mix thoroughly. add 9 to 10-1/2 cups bread flour as follows,

start by adding two cups flour then mix,

2 cups then mix,

1 cup then mix, continue adding 1 cup and mixing

 until you can see you dough is getting close to the

correct consistency or about seven cups total.  Then

add 1/2 cup at a time.  Knead as needed.  Finish

by adding about 1/4 cup or less as needed.

 Keep kneading.   It is important not to add a

 lot of flour at one time or it will not incorporate well.

grease  (oil) bowl  and dough where the dough will rise,

place dough in bowl, then  cover with towel or saran wrap

and let rise for about 1/2 hour.  Keep hands oiled, while

forming  buns about 1-1/2 inches in diameter.  Place

 next to each other on greased pan and let rise.

Oven should be at 350 degrees to bake for 22 to 30 min.

Keep checking for the desired consistency, because

it is too much work to under or over cook your buns.
