Servings 20
Equipment
- rimmed baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 package dry active yeast
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups all purpose flour, divided plus 1 to 3 cups, as needed
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Get out and measure your ingredients!
- In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, combine milk, salt and sugar.
- Add eggs, yeast and oil.
- Gradually add 4 cups of flour and beat hard with your mixer.
- As flour is incorporated, keep adding more.
- More flour.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of flour and work in by hand in the bowl.
- You need to add flour until your dough is no longer sticky.
- Cover bowl with a clean, damp, dish towel. Let dough rise for 15 minutes.
- Punch dough down in the center, cover again and let rise for 15 minutes more.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet lightly coated in baking spray. Do not turn on your oven yet.
- Make rolls, between 1 ½ and 2 inches in diameter, and let them rise, on your prepared sheet, until they have doubled roughly in size, another 15-30 minutes. I usually just throw them in my oven and wait.
- Once doubled in size, remove from oven and turn it on. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Once your oven reaches 400 degrees put in your buns in to bake.
- Set your timer to 15 minutes and watch for your buns to be a beautiful golden brown color. They may take as long as 20 minutes, depending on their size. If desired, brush melted butter on top of rolls to make crust softer. I rarely do.
- Serve and enjoy!
