2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let
rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn onto
a lightly floured surface; divide into 16 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place 2
in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30
minutes. Beat egg white and cold water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with poppy
and/or sesame seeds. With scissors, cut a 1/4-in.-deep cross on tops of rolls.
