Fast & Easy Rolls

These are ready in just over an hour and are so good. I made a different recipe a few week ago that took twice as long and both Brian and I thought these ones were better.

Fast & Easy Rolls

Ingredients:

5 cups all-purpose flour
2 (.25 ounce) packages dry yeast (4 1/2 tsp)
1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. Mix together yeast and 2 1/2 cups of the flour.

2. In a separate bowl heat milk, water, oil, sugar and salt to lukewarm in microwave. I usually put mine in my pyrex two cup glass measurer and heat for 75 seconds. Add all at once to flour and yeast and mix well for about 3 minutes.
3. Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough, 2 to 3 more cups. Mix well. Dust a flat surface with flour, turn dough out and cover with bowl, let sit 10 minutes.
4. Shape dough into 12 - 16 balls, and place on greased baking sheet to rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes on top of a warm oven).
5. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

These make great homemade hamburger buns, too (see pic below!)
When I make buns I usually make 12 balls, slightly flattened.
