Place the flour in a medium bowl, then sprinkle in the sugar, yeast and salt and stir until well combined.
Make a well in the center and add the oil and all of the milk, begin to mix and slowly add the water until you have formed a dough — you may not need to add all the water or you may need to add a little more, this will depend on the humidity of your kitchen.
If more water is needed add a tablespoon at a time. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and use your hands to knead the dough until you have a soft dough that feels a bit stretchy and doesn’t have any dry flour lumps (it will only take you 5 minutes or less).
Divide the dough into 12 equal size balls. Spray a springform pan with non stick spray, then arrange the dough balls in the pan.
Cover with a clean dish towel and allow to rise until they double in size. (The rising time will also depend on how humid and how cold or hot your kitchen is. It can take from 40 minutes to an hour.)
Preheat the oven to 400F for 10 minutes. Lightly beat a small egg and use a pastry brush to coat the top of the risen dough balls.
Bake in center of oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan and if desired brush with melted butter before serving while still warm.
