30 Minute Rolls

I saw this idea on Pinterest and checked it out.  My first thought was,"I don't think so."  How can you make rolls in 30 minutes and still have an edible product.  Well, Sunday I had company for dinner and decided to give it a try. (#1 rule when having company is DON'T try a new recipe!!!) Anyway, I tried it and they were wonderful.  I will definitely try them again.  Next time I will try and use at least 1/2 whole wheat flour. 


30 Minute Rolls
adapted from: Real Mom Kitchen

1 c. plus 2 Tbl. warm water
1/3 c. vegetable oil
2 Tbl. active dry yeast (yes, you read that right! 2 tablespoons!)
1/4 c. sugar 
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, oil, yeast and sugar; let rest for 5-10 minutes or until frothy and bubbly.  With a dough hook, mix in salt, egg and 2 cups of flour until combined.  Add remaining 1/2 cup flour at a time (dough will be sticky).  Spray your hands with cooking spray and shape the dough into 12 balls.  After shaped, place on lightly greased cookie sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.  Bake for about 10 minutes or until tops are lightly golden.  Yield: 12 good-sized rolls.  You can also use this same dough for cinnamon rolls!  

They were good sized rolls. If you wanted smaller rolls you could probably get 15 rolls.   Very tasty.
