Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vegetable oil, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the matzo meal. Mix until the dough comes together in a thick, smooth consistency. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5–10 minutes.
After the dough has cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The dough will become sticky and smooth as you incorporate the eggs.
Using lightly greased hands or a spoon, form the dough into small balls (approximately the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each roll.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed. Avoid opening the oven during the baking process to prevent deflation.
Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
