French Bread Rolls

This is another one from Mels kitchen. I make these as rolls, and hamburger buns, hot dog buns, hoagie rolls

I make these in my bosch. They are so yummy and easy!

1 1/2 c. warm water
3/4 Tbsp instant yeast (or  1 Tbsp active dry yeast)
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp salt
4 cups flour, give or take a little

In your bowl of a stand mixer, combine water, yeast, sugar, oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour (if you are using active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, let the yeast proof in the water and sugar for about 3-5 min until foamy, before adding oil, salt & flour). Begin mixing and  continue to add the rest of the flour gradually until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be soft and smooth but still slightly tacky to the touch.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Lightly spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl. Let the dough rise until doubled.

Lightly punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and form into a ball. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover rolls and let rise till doubled. Bake at 400 for 12-14 min.
