Molly'S Dinner Rolls

1. 1

   In a mixer (or by hand), combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water; let grow until bubbly (about 5 minutes).

2. 2

   Add milk and mix.

3. 3

   Mix in oil and egg.

4. 4

   Slowly add 2 cups flour, mix, and then add salt.

5. 5

   Add 1/2 cup flour at a time until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

6. 6

   Lightly spray the dough with cooking spray, and let rise in a covered mixing bowl for about 30 minutes.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   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).

9. 9

   You can rotate the pan halfway through, if you'd like, but I don't.

10. 10

    Brush hot rolls with melted butter.
