In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add the salt and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, tucking the edges under to create a smooth surface.
Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Cover lightly with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) during the second rise.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter or your favorite spread!
