30-Minute Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons Warm Water
- ½ cup oil
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3 cups flour (all-purpose or bread flour)
How to Make 30-Minute Rolls:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare Yeast Mixture: In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, combine warm water, oil, active dry yeast, and sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the yeast mixture, add 2 cups of flour, salt, and the egg. Use the dough hook attachment to mix the ingredients.
- Incorporate Remaining Flour: Gradually add the remaining 1¼ cups of flour, one cup at a time, while the mixer is running. Continue mixing until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Shape Dough Balls: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape them into balls. Place the dough balls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Let Dough Rest: Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. This brief resting period helps the dough rise a bit before baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven. They are best served warm.
Tips:
- Yeast Activation: Ensure that the yeast is activated by letting it sit in the warm water and sugar mixture until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to leaven the dough.
- Dough Consistency: The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Avoid adding too much flour, as it can result in dense rolls. The dough will become less sticky as it rests.
- Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the rolls while baking. They should be golden brown on the top, indicating that they are fully baked.
- Serve Fresh: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them with butter or your favorite spreads.
- Customization: Feel free to customize the rolls by adding herbs, garlic powder, or cheese to the dough for added flavor.
