Easy Dinner Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 cups warm water
- 5 teaspoons dry yeast, dissolved in 1/4 cup water (or 2 envelopes yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 2 eggs
- 6 cups flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 2/3 cup canola oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 2 cups warm water, and the yeast mixture made from 5 teaspoons dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water, along with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup wheat germ, and 2 eggs.
- Stir in 6 cups flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for two hours before using; you can even make the dough ahead of time, up to five days before serving.
- Once ready, form the dough into 2-inch balls and place them in a large greased cake pan, leaving about one inch of space between each ball.
- Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise until they double in size, which usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
