Add the warm water, yeast and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Add in the oil, salt and 2 cups of the flour. Use the dough hook to start to combine. Adding in the remaining flour in 1/4 cup increments until the dough starts to come together and pull away from the side of the bowl. Then let it knead for 5 minutes.
Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size for about 60 minutes.
Divide the dough into 16 balls, place on a greased baking sheet. Allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes then brush with butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes, spraying the rolls with ice water twice halfway through the baking process to make the crust chewier. Makes 16 rolls.
