Ingredients

  • 2 c warm water
  • 2 pkg. Fleischmann’s very active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 t sugar
  • 6 c. bread flour (2 pounds)
  • 1 T of salt
  • 2/3 c vegetable oil
  • 6 T butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

mix the water, sugar and yeast together in a small bowl or measuring glass

in a large bowl mix together flour and salt

add in vegetable oil and start to mix

pour in dissolved yeast mixture and stir with you hands (They’re gonna get messy)

once it forms a ball dump onto a floured counter and knead

knead dough until it becomes smooth

you may need to add a tablespoon or two if the dough is too dry

once well combined place dough in a large oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth

place in a warm area of the house to rise for about an hour until dough has doubled in size (I use my laundry room with the dryer running)

once doubled if you poke it with your finger it shouldn’t push back out

punch down dough

to form even balls for your rolls split dough in half then half each of those in half and so on and so on until you have 32 balls*

form rolls and place in a grease circular pie plate 7 around and one in a center. (I use disposable pan so I can freeze a lot)

Place covered in a warm place and allow to rise again for about an hour

preheat oven to 350 degrees

brush melted butter on the tops of the risen rolls
