Description
Delightful, pillowy dinner rolls ready in just 30 minutes, bringing warmth and comfort to your table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp. active dry yeast
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Proof the yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it gets foamy.
- Mix the wet ingredients: Once your yeast is all frothy, whisk in the vegetable oil and the egg.
- Combine flour and salt: In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add this to your wet mixture.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes.
- Let it rise: Shape your dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Set it in a warm place for about 10 minutes.
- Shape the rolls: Once risen, punch the dough down, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Final rise: Place the shaped rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them, and cover for another 10 minutes.
- Bake ‘em up: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once your rolls have risen, pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
You can substitute ingredients like honey instead of sugar or use melted butter for the oil. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
