In a saucepan, bring water to a boil; add oats and butter. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oat mixture, sugars, salt and 4 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 min. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down ; allow to rest for 10 min. Shape into 18 balls. Place in two greased 9" round pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
