Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Yeast
1 whole Egg
1/4 cups Light Olive Oil
1/4 cups Salted Butter, Melted, Plus Extra To Brush On Top Of Rolls
1 cup Warm Water
1/4 cups Sugar
3/4 teaspoons Salt
2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour

Directions

1

Note: Roll batter may be made with a stand or hand mixer, or stirred by hand.
2

Place all ingredients, except flour, in a large mixing bowl and blend. Add flour and mix to form a thick, sticky batter. Cover the bowl with a towel and let stand at room temperature for one hour.
3

Grease a baking pan with shortening and/or butter.(I use both, to keep the butter from burning).
4

Pinch off small pieces of the dough and tuck under all around to smooth the tops. Place dough in the greased baking pan, leaving space between for rolls to expand. Brush tops of rolls with extra melted butter.
5

Cover pan with a towel and let stand another hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
6

Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
7

Serve warm, or bake ahead of time and reheat to serve. Makes about 18 rolls, depending on size.
