Preheat oven to 400℉.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar; let rest for 5-10 minutes or until frothy and bubbly (you can also make this recipe without a stand mixer – just use a big bowl, a large wooden spoon, and all your arm strength).

With a dough hook, mix in salt, egg and 2 cups of flour until combined. Then add remaining flour – ½ cup at a time (dough will be sticky). Sometimes I need the full 3 ½ cups, sometimes I need less, and sometimes I need even more.

Spray your hands with cooking spray and shape the dough into 12 balls.

After shaped, place on lightly greased cookie sheet and let rest and rise for 10 minutes.

Bake for about 10 minutes or until tops are lightly golden.
