-
In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in the cup of warm water.
-
Add warm milk, oil, sugar, eggs, salt, and two cups of flour. Beat until smooth.
-
Stir in the remaining 4 cups of flour to make a soft dough. You can either use the dough hook on your mixer, or stir in the rest.
-
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
-
Place back in the mixing bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap (just put it across the top of the bowl, not directly onto the dough). Let rise in a warm place until double in size.
-
Punch dough down, then turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 equal pieces. (I use a knife and cut the ball of dough in half, then in half again and again until I have 8 pieces). Form each piece into a ball.
-
Grease two baking sheets and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place four balls of dough on each baking sheet, three inches apart. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes).
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
