1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
2 Tbsp. white sugar
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
4 c. bread flour

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

2. To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 c. flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 c. at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

3. Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, and form into round balls. Place on lightly greased baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. Cover rolls with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400º F.

4. Bake for 18-20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
