Ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup  sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast 2 packets
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use sea salt)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 1/2 cups flour bread or all purpose flour
  • melted butter for brushing on finished rolls

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until foamy (about 5 minutes).
  • Mix salt and oil into the yeast mixture.
  • Mix in flour one cup at a time.
  • Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth (or use your dough hook/paddle on your stand mixer on low speed).
  • Place in a well oiled large bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow rolls to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Shape rolls and place in a baking pan (grease the pan or spray with cooking spray). I use a half-sheet pan. Allow to rise for 30-40 minutes.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Brush generously with butter while still in baking dish.
  • It soaks in and adds the perfect buttery flavor and smooth texture.

Notes

I preheat my oven for 60 seconds and then shut it off. It makes for the perfect warm spot for my rolls to raise.
