Dinner Buns

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups hot tap water
4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
2 tablespoons instant yeast

Mix in order given, mixing the yeast with a little flour and adding that while the dough is still soft. Add enough flour to make a dough that holds together in a ball shape and is not sticky if you handle it with floured hands.Cover.
Let rise until double, about 1/2 hour.
Grease hands and, using a small amount of dough at a time,
pinch off buns between index finger and thumb, curling
index finger in. Place buns on greased cookie sheets.
Let them rise until they are double in size.
Bake at 400F for about 20 minutes, or until golden.
