Quick Dinner Rolls

3 1/2 cups (17 ounces) bread flour
1/4 cup (1.7 ounces) sugar 
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/8 cups (9 ounces) warm water
1 tablespoons instant yeast
1 egg 
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in stand mixer bowl. In a spouted measuring cup, stir yeast into warm water, then stir in the egg and vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir together until most of the dry flour is wet. Fit onto the mixer with the dough hook and knead 5 minutes. 

Scrape the dough into a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise 20 minutes in a warm spot.

Remove the dough to a very lightly floured counter and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each under a cupped hand to make 12 tight balls. Add to a greased 9 by 13 baking dish and cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise 20 minutes, then heat the oven to 375 with the rack on the lower middle position. 

Once the oven is heated, remove the plastic wrap and bake on the lower middle rack for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and center rolls are 200 degrees internal temperature.

Use a spatula to lift the rolls out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
