Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy. - Mix the dough:
Add the oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until the ingredients are combined. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. - Knead the dough:
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step. - Shape the rolls:
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. - Let rise:
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes, or until they have doubled in size. - Bake:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the rolls for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. - Finish and serve:
Once the rolls are out of the oven, brush them with melted butter for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
