Light Whole Wheat Sourdough Oatmeal Rolls

The recipe name says it all, except for a touch of honey and molasses in the dough.

You can shape the rolls any way you want, but I like to roll them and place them close together, so they rise next to each other.

Eat them with honey butter for a real treat.

Makes 12 dinner rolls.
