Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 packet rapid rise dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted, plus a cold stick for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Heat the 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk in a microwave safe dish for 60-90 seconds or until it comes to a temperature between 105°-115°F. If hotter, allow to cool before adding, it will kill the yeast.
- In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer fitted with the bread hook, combine the 1 packet rapid rise dry yeast and 1/4 cup sugar, giving a quick stir to combine. Add the warm milk and allow to bloom for 10 minutes. The mixture should be frothy and fragrant. If the dough does NOT rise, stop right here- it means that the yeast was no active, the water was too hot and killed it or the water was not hot enough to bloom. The rolls will not turn out if the yeast does not activate.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish with a cold stick of butter.
- Stir in the the 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt to the yeast mixture. Add the 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing between each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Knead until the bread dough comes together and slaps against the side of the bowl.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or work surface. Divide the dough into 12 equally sized balls and place them into a 9x13 baking dish. They might not touch now, but will come close when they rise. Cover and allow to rise for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned. When you remove the rolls from oven, baste the tops with the melted 2 tablespoons salted butter,. Serve warm.
