Add the warm water, sugar, salt, oil, bread flour, and yeast into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. This cycle will typically take about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your bread machine.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine pan and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them evenly.
Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a shallow baking dish on the bottom rack of the oven and fill it with about 1 cup of water to create steam. This helps achieve a crispy crust.
Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven on the middle rack for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
