Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water Make sure the water is about 110°F for best results.
- 1 pack active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar This helps to activate the yeast.
- 5 cups all-purpose flour For the best texture, use spoon and level method.
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil This adds flavor to the dough.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter For brushing on top before baking.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and wait for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means your yeast is active!
- Next, add in the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Cover the rolls again and let them rise for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F during this time.
- Before baking, brush the tops with melted butter for a lovely golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or with your favorite meal!
Notes
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
