Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the dry yeast in 2 cups of very warm water.
- Stir in sugar and oil until the sugar is dissolved.
- Mix in the self-rising flour until a soft dough forms.
- Spoon the dough into greased muffin cups.
- Bake at 350°F until the rolls are golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, make sure your water is not too hot when dissolving the yeast, as it can kill the yeast. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for each cup of flour. Experiment with adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for the dry yeast. Just remember to activate it in warm water with a bit of sugar before adding it to the mixture. This ensures that the yeast is alive and ready to help your rolls rise.
What if I want to make these rolls healthier?
To make these rolls healthier, consider using a blend of whole wheat flour and self-rising flour. You can also reduce the sugar slightly or replace it with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
How can I make these rolls vegan?
To make these rolls vegan, simply replace the oil with a plant-based oil and ensure that the sugar you use is vegan-friendly. The recipe is already egg-free and dairy-free, making it an easy transition to vegan recipes.
