Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, mix together warm water, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast, then let it sit until the mixture becomes bubbly, which should take about 8 minutes.
- Add a beaten egg, softened butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Knead the dough for 10 minutes by hand or for 5 minutes using a stand mixer.
- Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Arrange the balls in a greased baking pan, cover with parchment paper and a kitchen towel, and let them rise in a warm place for 10 minutes. If you have extra time, allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Lightly brush the dough balls with room temperature milk. Bake them on the middle rack of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
