Instructions
- Pour warm water into a mixing bowl.

- Stir well to combine. Add egg and oil, then stir in self-rising flour.
- Let the mixture stand for 10 to 15 minutes, then cover and store in the refrigerator.

Tips & Substitutions
For a softer roll, consider using melted butter instead of oil. You can also substitute half of the self-rising flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you prefer a sweeter roll, add a bit more sugar or mix in some honey. Make sure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. This dough can also be used for making soft dinner rolls.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are fantastic served warm alongside soups or salads. They pair beautifully with Green Bean Baskin for a delightful meal. You can also serve them with butter, honey, or jam for breakfast. For a festive touch, consider serving them with a side of Choco-Nut Meringues for dessert after a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. This method keeps the rolls soft and fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add baking powder and salt to mimic self-rising flour. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or mixing in grated cheese or minced garlic into the dough before baking. These additions can give your rolls an exciting twist and elevate their taste.
Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to give it a good stir before filling your muffin pans and baking. This way, you can enjoy fresh rolls with minimal effort when you're ready.
