Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the vegetable oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, while mixing. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it with your hands for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl with oil, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Place the balls of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover loosely with the kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until they double in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
