Ingredients
  

Main Dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (1/4-ounce) package
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For Brushing (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Baking
  1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round roll.
  2. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and let them rise in a warm place for 10-15 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  5. Optionally, brush the warm rolls with melted butter for added flavor and shine.

Notes

For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh and your water is at the correct temperature for activation. These rolls are best served warm. You can adjust the sugar content to your preference. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
