Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for brushing tops)
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the yeast over the top of the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of flour, rolled oats, salt, melted butter, and the beaten egg to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 6-inch long bun for a classic Subway-style shape.

Step 8

Place the shaped buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Brush the tops of the buns with milk and sprinkle a small amount of rolled oats on each bun.

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before slicing and using for sandwiches.
