Southern "Light" Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups warm water (about 105-112 degrees F)
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
6 cups bread flour (estimated)
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1/2 cup butter (melted) (optional)

Preparation

Mix water, yeast, and sugar together until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Add oil and salt, mix.
Add flour, one cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the side of the mixing bowl and does not stick to your fingers when touched.
Let dough rise, about 1 hour.
Punch down, shape, and place on your baking pan (makes 36 rolls or 2 loaves).
Let dough rise again, about 1 hour.
Brush tops of rolls or loaves with 1 stick of melted butter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown.
Optional: When rolls are removed from oven, brush with another stick of melted butter.
