These are some of the best rolls I have ever made. The taste and texture is like they came from a restaurant! I found this recipe online, on a blog named The Sisters Dish, and she said she adapted the recipe from her friend, Molly. Note: Prep time includes time for the dough to rise.

INGREDIENTS

Nutrition

1

(2 1/4 teaspoon) package active dry yeast
¹⁄₃

cup sugar
1

cup warm water (about 110 degrees F)
1

cup milk, warmed to lukewarm
¹⁄₃

cup oil
1

egg
¹⁄₂

tablespoon salt
all-purpose flour (I think I use about 5 cups)
2

tablespoons butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

In a mixer (or by hand), combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water; let grow until bubbly (about 5 minutes).
Add milk and mix.
Mix in oil and egg.
Slowly add 2 cups flour, mix, and then add salt.
Add 1/2 cup flour at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Lightly spray the dough with cooking spray, and let rise in a covered mixing bowl for about 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, form rolls (they will each be 2 oz., if you weigh the dough like I do) as desired, and place on a lightly greased or parchment-lined jelly roll pan (or rimmed cookie sheet). Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise an additional 30 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes (the original recipe said 10-12 minutes, but I found mine needed about 18 minutes for 24 rolls on a jelly roll pan).
You can rotate the pan halfway through, if you'd like, but I don't.
Brush hot rolls with melted butter.
