Ingredients

• 1 cup water, plus
• 1 tablespoon water (70-80 F)
• 1 large egg
• 4 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 1/4 cups bread flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons shortening (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine all the ingredients, minus the shortening and butter, in the bowl of your stand mixer in the order listed in the ingredients. Knead with the dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until the dough has doubled in size, about an hour.
3. Once dough has risen, remove from bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into 15 uniformed sized balls (you may have to have shortening on your hand as you do this to keep from sticking)
4. Lightly butter a 9x13 baking pan. Place rolls onto baking pan, cover and let rise until double in size (approximately 30 minutes).
5. Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes or until a light, golden brown.
6. After removing from the oven, brush with melted butter. Serve warm.
