Getting bread to cooperate is not a strong point of mine. That is why this has to be the easiest, most foolproof bread I have ever made. I especially like that you can make this bread ahead of time and let it rise in the refrigerator. It makes it easy to have fresh bread for dinner even when you have been at work all day.

Ingredients:
1 ½ packets of yeast
1 1/3-cup of warm water (110-115-degrees)
¼-cup white sugar
½ Tbsp salt
3-cups all purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 ¼-cup flour

Combine the yeast and warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Beat in the sugar, salt, and flour, once combined beat in the egg and vegetable oil. Then stir in the remaining flour. Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and refrigerate overnight. When ready remove the dough and form into 16 rolls. Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes and then bake in a 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Makes 16 rolls.

This makes a very soft roll and is conducive to many different shapes, standard round, clover, and knot. It is also easy to brush with butter and sprinkle garlic powder on top of the rolls to make garlic rolls.
