Best EVER Bread

(This is for a Bosch, but you could use other mixers as well)

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
4 cups really hot water
6 cups flour
3 TBS rapid rise yeast

I mix the first 4 ingredients, then 3 cups of flour, then the yeast, and then 3 more cups of flour.  Let mixer go for 8 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 TBS salt and enough flour to make a soft dough.  I only add enough so that the bowl comes clean while mixing.  About 4 cups more of flour.

Let sit in bowl for 30 to 40 minutes or until it starts coming out of the top.

Turn mixer on low for a few strokes to beat the bread down.  Remove bread from mixer.

Form in to loaves or rolls.  Let rise for 30 to 40 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (bread) or 20 minutes (rolls or cinnamon buns)
