Ingredients:
2 C. water
1 C. rolled oats
3 T. butter
3 ¾ to 4 ¾ C. flour
¼ C. sugar
2 t. salt
2 pkg. yeast
1 egg
Topping:

Boil water and stir in oats. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Cool to 120-130° F. In a bowl, combine 1 ½ C. flour, sugar salt and yeast; blend well. Add rolled oats mixture and egg. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 min. at medium speed. Stir in an additional 1 ¾ cups to 2 ½ cups flour to form stiff dough.
Knead in ½ to ¾ C. flour until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest 15 min. Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Flatten dough into bottom of pan until it reaches the sides. Using a floured sharp knife, cut diagonal lines 1 ½ inches apart all the way through dough, turn the pan and cut again diagonal lines, creating a diamond pattern in the dough. Pour butter and lightly spread over the dough surface. Sprinkle seasonings and cheese over the top. Cover and let rise. Bake at 375° for 20 – 25 min.
Cut along diagonal lines to loosen and serve rolls.
