Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the salt, vegetable oil, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a spoon or mix using a stand mixer with a dough hook until combined.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 5 minutes to rise slightly.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops with a bit of melted butter, if desired, for a shinier, softer finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
