With a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can have warm, fluffy rolls ready in no time. They’re perfect for soaking up soups, pairing with salads, or serving alongside your favorite main dish. Let’s get baking!
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, vegetable oil, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for about 8 minutes until the yeast becomes bubbly.
- Stir in the beaten egg, softened butter, and salt into the yeast mixture. Gradually add all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until you achieve a soft, non-sticky dough.
- 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 each piece into a ball.
- Arrange the dough balls in a greased baking pan, cover them with parchment paper and a kitchen towel. Let them rise in a warm area for 10 minutes, allowing up to an additional 30 minutes if you have time.
- Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with milk. Bake them on the middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are just turning golden brown.
