In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter just melts. Allow the mixture to cool to about 110°F (warm but not hot to the touch).
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl with the vegetable oil, place the dough inside, and turn it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down to release air and transfer it back to the floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Shape each portion into a goofy or whimsical shape, such as twists, spirals, or knots. Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel again and let them rise for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with a little milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your whimsical and delicious Goofy Bread Rolls!
