This quick bread solution represents the pinnacle of convenient home baking, delivering fresh rolls in record time.

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 3 to 3 and ½ cups all-purpose flour

For Finishing:

• Butter for brushing (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare your baking space by preheating the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. The choice depends on whether you prefer soft-sided or crispy-edged rolls.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, vegetable oil, yeast, and sugar. The water temperature is crucial – too hot will kill the yeast, too cold won't activate it properly. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy on top.
3. The foamy top indicates that the yeast is alive and ready to work its magic. Stir in the salt and egg until they are well incorporated into the mixture.
4. Begin adding flour gradually, one cup at a time. Stir thoroughly after each addition. The key is to add just enough flour to create a soft, workable dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 3 to 5 minutes. The goal is a smooth, elastic dough that's soft to the touch but not sticky.
6. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. This is easiest done by first dividing the dough in half, then each half into six roughly equal portions.
7. Shape each piece into a smooth ball by rolling it between your hands. Place the rolls in the prepared pan, leaving a little space between each for rising.
8. Let the rolls rest for 10 minutes while the oven finishes heating. This short rest allows them to puff up slightly and ensures a light, airy texture.
9. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, watching carefully. The rolls should turn a beautiful golden brown on top, indicating they're perfectly cooked.
