Ingredients
- 1¼ cups warm water 95-105°F
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3¾ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease.
- In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let proof 2-5 minutes until foamy.

- Spray hands with baking spray, divide dough into 15 balls, and place in prepared pan.
- Cover with towel and let rise in a warm spot for 5-10 minutes while preheating oven to 375°F.

Notes
Avoid adding too much flour to keep rolls soft. You can also brush extra garlic butter on warm rolls before serving for extra flavor and moisture.
