Side · world favourite.

Ingredients

• 2 tubs Yeast
• 2 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 6 cups Flour
• 2 1/2 cups Warm Water

Method

1. Mix together — Sift half the flour, mix with salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl, and slowly add warm water until the mixture forms a stiff dough.
2. Knead — Add more sifted flour until you have a stiff enough dough to knead.
3. Knead — Lightly flour the work surface, knead the dough for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic, and then place it in a greased bowl.
4. Continue cooking — Now place the bowl warmly for 40-50 minutes until it has doubled.
5. Continue cooking — You know the dough is ready when you poke a finger, and the indentation remains.
6. Preheat the oven — Preheat oven to 425 degrees F or 220 degrees C.
7. Roll out — Now divide the dough into 12 equal portions, roll each into a fist size ball, and place on a greased baking sheet.
8. Continue cooking — Now place in a warm place again for a further 40 minutes or again until the dough has doubled in size.
9. Bake — Now place in the oven’s center and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown rolls sound hollow when tapped.
