Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs for coating

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with the vegetable oil.
  3. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it comes together.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
  7. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs.
  8. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
