2 cups warm water @ 110 degrees F
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 cups bread flour
1/2 cup powdered buttermilk (optional)
Put the warm water in a 1-quart measuring cup and add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar; stir to dissolve. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Mix together the rest of the sugar, oil, salt, bread flour and the yeast mixture and knead until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Lightly oil the sides of the bowl and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Form each piece into a log and cut into 6 pieces. Roll pieces into the bread crumbs and place it in a non-stick cookie sheets. Place them in a lighted oven until double in size.
Take out the dough from the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
