Step 1: Dissolve yeast in water in 2 1/2 quart bowl. Add sugar, oil, salt and egg. Stir to dissolve sugar and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the flour until smooth. Cover with cloth and let rise 15 minutes or doubled. Grease square pan, 9 x 9 x 2 inches.
Step 2: Stir down batter and add 1 1/2 cups flour. Stir until mixed and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 3 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, knead in up to 1/2 cup of extra flour. Keep in mind that the less flour used, the lighter the rolls will be!
Step 3: Divide dough and shape into balls; arrange in pan. Cover and let rise until fully doubled in size (about 25 minutes or more).
Step 4: Heat oven to 400°F for at least 15 minutes before baking. Bake rolls for to 15-20 minutes.
Step 5: Remove from oven; brush rolls with melted butter while still warm for a soft and tender crust.
