Wheat Beer Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (12 ounce) bottle hefeweizen beer (good quality)
    1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    5 tablespoons sugar
    3 1/4 - 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
    melted butter (for brushing)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
    Butter or grease a baking sheet.
    In a large mixing bowl, add 3 1/4 cups of the flour and sugar.
    Mix in beer and oil, and stir until just combined (If still too wet, then add additional 1/4 cup flour) and lightly mix until can manage with hands.
    Place dough onto floured board and knead about 5 times (don't over-knead).
    Pat dough into a 1/4-inch rectangle.
    Cut rolls into 3-inch diameter circles (I used an inverted pilsner beer glass which works great) and arrange onto greased pan.
    Place onto middle rack in oven and bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
    Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
    Place onto wire rack to cool slightly.
    Serve warm with butter, honey, or whatever topping you prefer.
