Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment if using a mixer, until a soft dough begins to form.

Step 4

Once the dough clumps together, turn it out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface again.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 8

Place the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise in a warm area for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

If desired, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush lightly on the tops of the rolls for a glossy finish.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
