how to make 30 Minute Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

• 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 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to proof for about 2-5 minutes.
3. Add the oil, salt, egg, and flour one cup at a time. Mix with the stand mixer until everything is combined.
4. Let the stand mixer knead the dough for about 4 minutes. The dough will be soft, but avoid adding too much flour as it can make the rolls dense. You want just enough flour to shape it into balls with oily hands.
5. Spray your hands with baking spray and shape the dough into 15 balls.
6. Place the dough balls in the prepared 9×13 baking dish and cover them with a dish towel.
7. Preheat your oven to 375°F and place the pan on top of the oven to let the dough rise while it heats up.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls turn golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and brush melted butter on top before serving. Enjoy!
