Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 Egg yolk (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In another bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, flour, and salt.
To the yeast mixture, add the vegetable oil and eggs, and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a small roll.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover and let them rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water to create the egg wash. Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
