WHOLE WHEAT AND FLAXSEED PARKER HOUSE ROLLS

Steps:

• Pour warm water into a small bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top; let sit until a bubbly foam forms on top, about 5 minutes.

• Add all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and flaxseed and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl and place dough inside.
• Cover loosely and let sit in a warm spot until dough is doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking pan. Punch down dough and, on a floured surface, roll out into a 12x18-inch rectangle.
• Brush all over with 2 tablespoons of the butter, cut into 3 strips, each 4-inches wide, and then cut each strip into 8 rectangles.
• Loosely roll each piece of dough, buttered side in, and arrange in the pan seam-side down, making 3 rows of 8.
• Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and scatter oats over the top. Cover loosely and refrigerate until puffed and risen, 3 to 4 hours.
• Let rolls sit, covered, in a warm spot for 2 hours, and then preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Uncover and bake until rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
