Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. dry yeast
  • 2 c. lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. Mazola oil
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 7 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water.
  2. Add Mazola oil, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add sifted all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, until well blended, using an electric mixer if desired.
  4. Save a little flour for kneading and knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Let the dough rise until it doubles in size, about 3 to 4 hours.

Tips & Substitutions

For lighter rolls, ensure your water is lukewarm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have Mazola oil, you can substitute with any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil. You can also experiment with half whole wheat flour for added nutrition. Remember to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic for the best texture.

Serving Suggestions

These rolls are perfect for family dinners and pair beautifully with a Tender-Tasting Roast or can be served alongside soups and salads. If you're hosting a gathering, consider serving them with Cold Vegies and a dipping sauce for a delightful appetizer. They also make great sandwich buns for leftover meats.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover Mazola rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use instant yeast instead of dry yeast?

Yes, you can use instant yeast in place of dry yeast. Use the same amount, but you can mix it directly with the flour rather than dissolving it in water. This can save time and simplify the process.

What if my dough doesn't rise properly?

If your dough doesn't rise, it may be due to the yeast being expired or the water being too hot or too cold. Ensure the water is lukewarm, around 110°F, and check the yeast's expiration date. A warm, draft-free environment is ideal for rising.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, this recipe can easily be made vegan by using a plant-based oil like olive or avocado oil instead of Mazola oil. The ingredients are already vegan-friendly, but always double-check any additional toppings or spreads you plan to serve with the rolls.
