Keywords: hot dinner rolls yeast bread traditional simple egg free dairy free Vegan Vegetarian

Ingredients:
2 cup Flour (+1-2c more for kneading)
2 pkg Yeast or Quick Rise Yeast
4T Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Oil
2 cup Warm Water (105-115 degree range)


Preheat Oven to: 400 degrees

Directions:
Mix warm water, yeast and sugar in a large bowl; let set 5 min. 
*or Stand Mixer: use mixing bowl

Stir in oil, salt and 2c flour; will be sticky. 
*or Stand Mixer: use paddle on low speed, slowly adding the flour. 

Knead on floured board, adding more flour until stiff and smooth. 
*or Stand Mixer: switch to dough hook on mixer on low #1 speed, adding more flour until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. On #2 speed, knead about 5 min until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in oiled bowl, turn to coat, cover with oiled plastic wrap or lid, and set in warm location. Let rise for 1 hour, until doubled.  
*or 30 min using quick rise instant yeast. 

Punch down, pinch into 24 balls, place in a greased 9x13 pan (rows of 4W x 6L). 
*or Use Cutting Method: 
Dump dough out onto a floured board. 
Gently deflate into a rectangle. 
Long Side: cut in half vertically.  
Long Side: cut each half vertically into thirds, making 6 strips total. 
Short Side: cut horizontally into fourths, making 24 squares. 
Lightly roll each square into balls.
Place into greased pan.  

Cover with oiled plastic wrap or lid, and set in warm location. Let rise for 1 hour, until doubled.  
*or 30 min using quick rise instant yeast.

Bake until tops are golden brown, 15 minutes @ 400 degrees. (Jessie 20-30 min 350). 
*When making hamburger buns and stacking trays in the oven, the lower pan will brown first, unless a convection oven is used.  

Optional: Brush tops with butter or oil to soften crust and add shine. 


Special Tips or Information:
-Mix in a bread machine: add wet, then dry, set the the dough cycle for the 1st rise. Read your own model's instructions. 
-Mix in a Kitchen Aid stand mixer: with a dough hook. 
-Rising in the winter: heat oven on lowest temp, turn off and let rise inside the oven. Some stoves may even have a "bread proof" setting or dedicated warming drawer options. 
-Use Bread Flour VS All Purpose Flour for a more tender roll. 
-Rising time and amount of flour needed varies from each season, due to humidity and ambient temperatures. 
-For a more golden color, brush tops melted butter before baking. 
-Cook time depends on the pan type: dark pans cook faster, glass pans cook hotter, aluminum pans cook even and perfect.

Additional Comments: 
-Freeze Baked Rolls: reheat in foil at 325° until hot. 
-Ready to Bake: Make the dough ahead, let rise 1 time, roll into balls, brush tops with butter, cover and refrigerate (40°) over night, or freeze. Pull out, let rise again until doubled, then bake. Will take longer to rise when the dough is cold. 
-Mini Sandwiches: Day old bread is best for party sandwiches.
