3 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water Use warm water, not hot, to activate the yeast.
2 tablespoons olive oil Brush tops with olive oil or melted butter before baking for shine.

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Add olive oil and salt, and then gradually mix in flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough, shape into rolls, and place on a baking sheet.
Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Store rolls in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze wrapped rolls up to 1 month.
