Ingredients

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add your warm water and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top. Let the yeast sit for about five minutes or until it gets bubbly. If you have a dough hook attachment on your stand mixer, use it for these rolls.
  • Mix in oil, salt and flour. Start with 3 cups of flour, begin mixing, and add more flour gradually until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes in your stand mixer. The dough should be soft and smooth but still slightly tacky to the touch. If it still feels really sticky, add 1/4 cup flour and mix again.
  • Pour the dough out onto a clean surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. You can use a food scale if you want to get really accurate. To form the dough into round balls, cup your hand over the dough ball, and move your hand in a tight circular motion while keeping slight pressure on the dough to form a round ball.
  • Preheat your oven to 400℉. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Place dough balls in rows of 3 across and 4 down. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place in your kitchen. Rise for 30 minutes (can take 45 depending on how warm your kitchen is) or until they look puffy and doubled in size.
  • Bake for 14-17 minutes until they are lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and brush with butter using a pastry brush. Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite soup, or as a side to dinner.
