2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ teaspoon salt
3 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

In a stand mixer with a dough hook, slowly add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour. Mix until incorporated, then knead for 2–3 minutes.
Lightly oil a glass bowl. Remove the dough and place it in the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover tightly and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and immediately butter the tops if desired, then serve.
