 Super Quick, Super Easy Homemade Rolls

3 1/2 C. Warm water

3/4 C. sugar

1 C Oil

5 T. yeast

1 T. salt

10 1/2 C. flour 

3 eggs

1. Mix warm water, sugar, oil and yeast until it is all mixed.

2. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. Add flour, salt and eggs. Mix well. Add more flour if it is too sticky.

4. Spray your pans with non-stick spray. 

5. Put a little oil on your hands.. Shape into rolls, cinnamon rolls, or bread sticks. 

6. Let them rise for about 10 minutes.

7. Bake at 425 F for about 10 minutes.

I decreased the yeast from the original recipe. It just seemed like a little much, and they turned out okay. Make sure that the warm water is no warmer than 120 F, and no cooler than 110 F. 

This recipe makes two sheet cake pans worth of rolls. It was super easy to half the recipe because I didn't need that many rolls.
