Buttery Soft Dinner Rolls

In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast; let stand for 5 minutes.

Add the canola oil, egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes.

Form dough into a smooth ball. Keeping the dough in the bowl, spray with non-stick spray and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Punch down dough. Knead for 1 minute. Take the dough and divide it into 12 portions. Shape each ball dough by rolling it gently into a ball and tucking the sides underneath so that the roll looks smooth.

Place rolls in a greased 9×13 pan. Brush each with egg wash on the top of each roll to give them that smooth, shiny crust.

Let rolls rest and rise while oven is preheating to 425 degrees F, or about 10 minutes.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until rolls are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then brush with butter and serve.
