30 Minute Dinner Rolls

1 cup warm water

1/3 cup oil

1/4 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons yeast

1 egg beaten

1 Tablespoon soften butter

3 to 4 cups flour (I have even used half whole wheat and half all purpose)

1/8 cup milk room temperature

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In a large bowl combine 1 cup water, oil, sugar, & yeast. Let sit until yeast is bubbly (about 8 minutes).  Stir in beaten egg, softened butter, and salt.

With a stand mixer or by hand-add flour a cup at a time until you have a soft dough that is not sticky.  Knead by hand 10 minutes or 5 minutes with a stand mixer.

Divide dough into 15 to 18 pieces and form into balls.  Place in a greased 9X13 pan and cover with parchment paper and a kitchen towel.  Let rise 10 minutes in a warm place (or up to 30 minutes).

Lightly brush with milk (if desired) and bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes or just until browned.
