Ingredients

Dinner Rolls:

  • ⅓ cup warm water
  • 2 teaspoons dry active yeast
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour sifted and divided
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: Pour warm water (temperature of 105 to 115 degrees F) into a small bowl and add the sugar and yeast. Quickly stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a small square or rectangular baking dish.
  3. Mix Dough: Combine one cup of flour, salt, egg, olive oil, and yeast mixture in a stand mixer bowl or large mixing bowl. Knead with a dough hook for about 5 minutes or until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding additional flour if needed.
  4. Shape Dough: Divide the dough and shape it into 4 balls.
  5. Rising: Place balls in the prepared baking dish and let them rise for 30 minutes until almost doubled in size in a warm place.
  6. Preheat and Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the rolls for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Finish: Brush with melted butter while still hot and serve.
