Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm water 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
- 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces for hot dog buns, 8 equal pieces for hamburger buns, or 12-14 equal pieces for rolls, and form into the desired shape. Place on lightly greased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth (or greased saran wrap), and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bake for 12-13 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
