For a richer flavor, try using olive oil instead of vegetable oil. To achieve a shiny crust, brush the rolls with an egg white wash (1 egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking. If you don't have bread flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but the texture of the rolls may be slightly different. These rolls are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow to stand until creamy, approximately 10 minutes, to activate the yeast. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Add 2 cups of bread flour, vegetable oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate the remaining 2 cups of flour, adding 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. This step is crucial for developing the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure. (8 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. (60 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Gently deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth, round ball. (15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Lightly grease two baking sheets. Place the shaped rolls on the prepared sheets, ensuring they are at least 2 inches apart to allow for expansion. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume again, about 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) during the last 15 minutes of rising. (55 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until they are golden brown, approximately 18 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
