Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5–6 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls. Place them in a greased baking dish.
  7. Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • For a sweeter roll, you can add more sugar to the dough.
  • These rolls can be frozen after baking. Just reheat them in the oven before serving.
  • Experiment with adding herbs or garlic for extra flavor.
