Quick and Easy Dinner Rolls

Not sure where on the Internet I originally found the recipe, but this is my go-to recipe for rolls. I never seem to plan ahead enough to make dough that has to rise a few times. It is more like me to check an hour before dinner time to see what I had planned for dinner that night. These only rise for 45 min and cook for 12-15... Very good for a last minute planner. I often through together a batch of these, get the dough rising and then make a soup. By the time the soup is ready, the rolls are, too.

1 pkg quick-acting active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 1/3 c. milk (105-115 degrees F)
3 to 3 1/2 c. flour (I use part whole wheat and part all purpose)
3 T oil
1 T sugar
1 t. salt

1 T. melted butter
coarse salt

Dissolve yeast in warm milk in an electric mixer bowl. Stir in 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, the oil, sugar and salt. Mix on low until soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Heat oven to 400F. Spray 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick spray.

Punch down dough in center and fold over a few times. Pinch off 1 inch balls of dough. Roll in palm of hands and put 3 balls in one muffin cup. Brush tops with melted butter, and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Bake 12 - 15 minutes until crust is light golden brown. Immediately remove from pan. Store loosely covered.
