Instructions

In a large mixer bowl, combine water, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter & yeast, stir and then allow it to sit for approx 15 minutes for yeast to proof. (you know it's ready when it's puffed & frothy)
Add in eggs, honey, molasses, cocoa powder, brown sugar, salt & flours & mix together slowly using a dough hook until flour is incorporated.
Mix/knead in the mixer for 10 minutes.
Once mixed, let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray a 9x13 glass dish with cooking spray or cooking oil.
Knead the dough out on a lightly floured surface for several minutes. Kneading creates gluten which is what makes the rolls fluffy.
Form the dough into a ball and then use a knife or a dough scraper to portion the dough into 12 large pieces. (please do not use a rolling pin or a biscuit cutter with this dough)
Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place in the prepared baking dish. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with oats.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove and brush them with more melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
Serve warm.
