Soften yeast in half the water with a pinch of sugar added. Set aside. Combine milk, oil, sugar, salt and remaining water. Stir in one cup of flour, then add the eggs and yeast mixture. Mix in the remaining 4 cups of flour; turn out onto floured counter and knead for about 2 minutes until smooth. Grease a large bowl with oil, then place the dough in the bowl to rise. Let rise for about 45 minutes, or until double in size; punch down and let rise again. Make into sandwich buns or sweet rolls such as cinnamon or jelly.
