Quick Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 cups flour
    1/2 ounce fast rising yeast
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup oil
    2 eggs
    2 cups warm water
    1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
Preparation
    Proof the yeast with a bit of the warm water and sugar in a small bowl.
    Meanwhile, mix the flour, remaining sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
    When the yeast is foaming and bubbling after a few minutes, mix it into the dough along with the two eggs, warm water and oil.
    Knead the dough (it will be sticky) until smooth and elastic.
    In a KitchenAid mixer this only takes a couple minutes on speed 3.
    Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
    Punch down and then shape into rolls and let rise again.
    I like to make cloverleaf rolls with this recipe, which involves placing three balls of dough, no bigger than a ping pong ball, in a greased muffin cup.
    Once the balls have risen again, brush with the beaten egg for a nice brown finish and bake in a hot oven.
    The time will depend on the size, but mine take about 15 minutes at 200 C.
