Steps:

• 1. Heat water for 1 minute on HIGH in the microwave.
• 2. Put the ingredients in the order listed above in the pan of the bread machine. Put on dough setting. Check the dough after a few minutes. If it's too wet, add a little flour. If it's too dry, add a little water.
• 3. After the dough cycle is finished, put the dough on a floured surface and shape into 2 loaves. Set the loaves on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or greased. Let rise for at least 1 hour. Bake at 350º for 8-12 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and butter. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Use remaining oil to grease a cookie sheet or 9x13 inch pan. For plain rolls, punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side. Let dough rise for 20 to 25 minutes, or until almost double. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
