  • 1/3 cup olive oil see notes
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups bread flour all-purpose will also work

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine 1 1/8 cup warm water, 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons active dry yeast, and 1/4 cup white sugar.
  • Allow to rest for 5 minutes (the yeast should bloom, and the mixture will look "puffy")
  • Add 2 cups bread flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 egg into the yeast mixture using a dough hook, and mix.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups bread flour gradually.
  • Let your mixer do the work and let it knead it all together until it becomes smooth ball. The dough will be fairly soft.
  • Shape dough into 12 balls and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Let dough rest for 10 minutes, and heat your oven to 400°F.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until tops are just golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, and brush tops with butter.
  • Ta-da!
  • Devour.

Notes

Can you really make rolls in 30 minutes?
For me, in my oven - they take 30 minutes from start to finish. However, readers have reported that an extra few minutes in the oven is needed. Since room and oven temperatures vary, this makes total sense. I live in Arizona, so my house is usually pretty warm, which likely makes my rise time faster too.
How to store rolls
Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Substitutions/Additions
Oil. You can switch the olive oil for a light olive oil vs extra virgin, or simply use canola oil for a milder flavor.
Flour. I use bread flour when I have it, and all purpose flour when I don't.
Freezing instructions
This recipe can also be frozen before baking. Cover tightly with foil and wrap with plastic wrap. Freeze.
Allow to thaw and rise, then bake as normal.
