French Bread Rolls

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tbs active dry yeast
2 tbs white sugar
2 tbs vegetable oil
2 tsp salt
4 cups all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar, Let stand until creamy, about 10 min.

To the yeast mixture, add the oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Sir in the remaining flour, 1/2 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 min. 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 double in volume, about 1 hour.
