Knead. Combine all ingredients in a bread machine, a stand mixer, or a large bowl. Mix for a few minutes and check to make sure that the dough is not too dry or too wet. It should be soft and smooth but still clear the sides of the bowl. Knead for at least 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. (If using bread machine, simply select the "dough" cycle and skip to step 4).
First rise. Shape dough into a ball and place in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with greased plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled.
Shape. Remove dough from bowl and place on counter or cutting board. Divide into 16 equal pieces (it is easiest to divide in half, then quarters, etc.) and shape into rolls. Do not smash the top down, but pull from the bottom.
Second rise. Cover the rolls with greased plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes. The rolls should nearly double in size. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 375℉ degrees with a rack in the center.
Bake. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the rolls are very golden brown and the internal temperature is 195-200℉. Let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Keep an eye on the rolls as they rise; they will rise much faster than a sandwich loaf.
