French Bread Rolls to Die For

So here are some pictures of my first go at making rolls of any sort.

I just made a half of a batch, just to see if I liked them!

I must say..this recipe is pretty good. No extreme flavor of course.. just a nice plain roll:)

What I learned:  Don't put damp paper towel and cloth directly over the dough rolls! They will stick and ruin all the rising!

Recipe from http://allrecipes.com/recipe/french-bread-rolls-to-die-for/

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups bread flour

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, and form into round balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
