To start, stir together the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Let it stand for about 10 minutes until creamy. This step is crucial for activating the yeast and ensuring that your rolls turn out light and airy.

Next, add 2 cups of flour, oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Then, gradually stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. This will create a soft and slightly sticky dough, perfect for creating those pillowy dinner rolls.
Now it’s time to get your hands dirty! Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. This is a great way to work out any stress while also creating delicious rolls!
