Dinner rolls are a staple in American cuisine and are often served at holidays and special occasions. These dinner rolls are made with healthy coconut oil, which adds a subtle sweet and nutty flavor to the bread. They are soft, fluffy, and perfect for soaking up gravy or soup. The dinner rolls can also be used as a substitute for sandwich buns or as a base for mini pizzas and sliders. A batch of these dinner rolls can make an ordinary meal extraordinary.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of bread flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2.	In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and 1/3 cup of coconut oil until warm. Add the liquid ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir well.
3.	Gradually add the remaining bread flour to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4.	Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place the balls on a greased baking sheet, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
5.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the dinner rolls with one tablespoon of melted coconut oil.
6.	Bake the dinner rolls for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot or warm.
