Yield: 16 rolls.

These rolls can be enjoyed plain with soup or used for sandwiches. I make them at least once a month. This recipe earned me a blue ribbon at the county fair.

Ingredients:
• 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• 2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
• 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg white
• 2 teaspoons cold water
• Poppy and/or sesame seeds

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add 1 tablespoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the oil, salt, remaining warm water and sugar and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 16 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

4. Beat egg white and cold water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with poppy and/or sesame seeds. With scissors, cut a 1/4-in.-deep cross on tops of rolls.

5. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
