Mix 3 cups flour, salt, water, oil, and sugar together until smooth.
2 tsp salt, 3 cups hot water, 1/2 cup oil, 3/4 cup sugar, 3 cups bread flour
Add eggs and beat thoroughly for at least a minute.
3 eggs
Sprinkle yeast on mixture and mix well.
2 TBS yeast
Slowly add the remaining 5-6 cups of flour, mixing with a dough hook as you add the flour. As soon as the dough hook cleans the side of the bowl, stop mixing.
5-6 cups bread flour
Cover the dough and let sit in the mixing bowl for 15 minutes then beat it down for five seconds. Do this again three more times, beating it down every 15 minutes.
Shape into 24 rolls and place on a greased baking sheet. Let the rolls rise on the baking sheet for 30-60 minutes or until roughly doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Let cool on a rack then serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Freeze cooked rolls for up to six months in an airtight container. Thaw then reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave once thawed.Use salted butter to butter the rolls for a little added flavor. Or if you're averse to salt, unsalted butter works as well.Store at room temperature for up to five days in an airtight container.This is a soft dough, stop adding flour when the dough cleans the side of the bowl. As it rises it will get easier to work with. Avoid adding too much flour when you are shaping the rolls. Instead, try greasing your hands so it isn't too sticky.
