Ingredients

  • cups warm water 95-105 degrees
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. yeast - instant or platinum works great
  • cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated garlic
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded or grated
  • 2 tsp parsley

Instructions

  • Line baking sheet with parchment or non-stick liner- set aside
  • Combine yeast with warm water & sugar in a large bowl - allow to proof approx 2-5 minutes
  • Add in oil, salt, egg & flour & mix until combined. (adding a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.)
  • Separate the dough into 16 equal-sized pieces & shape into rolls. (see notes below about kneading the dough)
  • Place on the prepared baking sheet & let rise approx 5-10 minutes in a warm place. (I usually turn on my fireplace & set them on the hearth to rise).
  • Brush the raised rolls with melted butter & sprinkle with granulated garlic, cheese & parsley.
  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  • Bake rolls for about 18-20 minutes.
  • Spread additional butter on top before serving.

Notes

**Note - I had a reader tell me that she replaced the water with milk & the egg with a heaping tablespoon of fat-free Greek yogurt. Followed the rest of the recipe as written & had great results.
*Kneading the dough - This dough doesn’t require a lot of kneading, however, when making bread the kneading is what creates the gluten in the dough that makes bread light and fluffy – so it does help if you want these to be fluffier.
Ideal temp for proofing the yeast is 95-105 degrees. I have seen it noted as high as 115-125 degrees, but for me this has been hit or miss with the yeast dying at times. Try to stick between 95-105.
I found that the mixing process in the stand mixer was enough to create the right amount of gluten, while some people in different elevations or climates might require a bit more to get the same result. In this case - you will need to knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes. 
I have a video tutorial for my 1-hour dinner rolls that might be helpful – the steps are pretty similar and it would give you a better idea of how I create the rolls. You can see it here https://www.kleinworthco.com/one-hour-dinner-rolls/
