Fluffy Dinner Rolls - Dairy and Soy Free

Here's a yummy recipe I tried this Thanksgiving using a soy / dairy free recipe.

2 1 /2 cup white unbleached bread flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg rapid rise yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110 - 115 degrees)
1 egg
2 Tbsp olive oil

1. Mix 1 cup flour with the sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. Stir in egg, oil, and warm water. Beat until smooth.
3. Cover with a hand towel and let rise in a warm place for 15 - 20 minutes.
4. Stir in remaining flour and knead for about 3 minutes on a floured surface until dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Divide dough into 12 pieces and roll into balls.
6. Place in a greased bread pan so the rolls are touching.
7. Cover and let rise another 15 - 20 minutes.
8. Once doubled in size, brush on olive oil with crushed garlic and sprinkle sea salt on top.
9. Bake 8 - 10 minutes at 400 degrees or until slightly brown.

Using a bread pan allows the rolls to bake into perfect little squares. I used 2 bread pans total. If you only have one bread pan, you can put half on a baking sheet.
