40-Minute Everything Bagel Dinner Rolls/Buns - fresh, fluffy, flavorful, fast

This is same amazing recipe I use to make 40-Minute Hamburger Buns and 40-Minute Hot Dog Buns. It’s an easy recipe that is  adaptable. For this version I did use about 1 cup of whole wheat flour, made smaller buns (16 vs. 12) and topped the buns with my homemade version of Everything Bagel Seasoning (recipe included below). They could be topped with other favorite seeds or nuts; cheese and jalapeno slices could be added to the dough or leave off toppings for a plain roll.  

These buns are fresh, fluffy, flavorful and fast to make!

40-Minute Everything Bagel Dinner Rolls/Buns   Makes16 buns

2 tablespoons active dry yeast

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)

1/3 cup vegetable oil, such as canola

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon salt

3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (could use 1 cup or more of whole wheat in place of some of the AP flour) + more if dough is sticky; just enough so the dough is soft

Note: Add about 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten if you have it on hand—it helps improve the texture and elasticity of the bread. Add it along with the flour.)

Egg wash (1 egg mixed with a teaspoon of water) 

Everything Bagel Seasoning (mix recipe included below)

1. Preheat oven to 425° F. 
2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. 
   
3. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough (about 3 cups at this point). 
   
4. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (or continue kneading in mixer with a dough hook attachment, about 3 to 5 minutes. 
   
5. Do not let rise. Divide into 16 pieces; shape each into a ball. 
   
6. Place about 3” apart on greased or sprayed baking sheets and flatten slightly to prevent an overly puffed bun. 
   
7. Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning.  
8. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with pan released to prevent sticking.and let rest for 10 minutes.
9. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.
