Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 ⅛ cups warm water ((see note below))
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons active dry yeast ((yes, it really is 2 Tbls))
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 ½ cups flour ((more or less; see instructions below))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar; let rest for 5-10 minutes or until frothy and bubbly (you can also make this recipe without a stand mixer - just use a big bowl, a large wooden spoon, and all your arm strength).
  • With a dough hook, mix in salt, egg and 2 cups of flour until combined. Then add remaining flour - 1/2 cup at a time (dough will be sticky). Sometimes I need the full 3 ½ cups, sometimes I need less, and sometimes I need even more.
  • Spray your hands with cooking spray and shape the dough into 12 balls.
  • After shaped, place on lightly greased cookie sheet and let rest and rise for 10 minutes.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until tops are lightly golden.
