Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes for one loaf.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes for rolls.
Pour oil over well mixed flour mixture (Stiff and sticky - oil makes mixture manageable)
Cover with waxed paper.
Let rise until double in bulk (1-2 hours)
Punch down. Knead a few times to hold together.
For a loaf, divide into 3 equal parts.
For rolls, divide into 24 equal parts.
Roll a la Pat.
Place in oiled pan and cover.

Sweet Rolls ???
Decrease salt, by half
For bread itself, may add:
2 cups zucchini (grated), beans, peas, left-overs, potatoes or potato water, rice,
If bread is crumbly, too much sugar
Cannot eliminate all salt! It will not rise properly
