Ingredients

Scale

  • 1¼ cups warm water

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 3¾ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.

2. Activate the Yeast

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 2–5 minutes, until foamy.

3. Make the Dough

Add the oil, salt, egg, and flour (one cup at a time).
Mix until combined, then allow the mixer to knead the dough for about 4 minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

4. Shape the Rolls

Lightly spray your hands with baking spray or oil. Divide the dough into 15 equal balls and place them evenly in the prepared pan.

5. Quick Rise

Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pan on top of the oven while it preheats. Let the dough rise during this time.

6. Bake

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

7. Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and brush the rolls generously with melted butter. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Don’t add too much flour: A soft, slightly sticky dough makes lighter rolls.

  • Warm water matters: Water should be warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.

  • Hands-on shaping: Oiled hands make shaping easy without adding extra flour.

  • Extra flavor: Brush with garlic butter or sprinkle with flaky salt after baking.
