I suspect that "EI" is a measure of how much ...and I also suspect it's the victim of a typo. (For example could it somehow really mean "deci-liter"?) Is the original recipe metric or Imperial, weights or volumes or mixed? Is it on the web? If so, where?
Generally for bread, recipes will specify a particular kind of edible oil only in the cases where it matters; the most common example is "olive oil". If the recipe doesn't specify any particular type, the default is the generic stuff I've always heard called "salad oil" (which might also be referred to as "cooking oil" or "safflower oil" or "peanut oil" or "vegetable oil" or "corn oil").
If the recipe has a german origin then it could mean "Essloeffel" which mean tabelspoon in english.

I think that's it, as their recipes in English specify the amount of oil in Tablespoons.
Thank you all for your replies i put on a small amount of sunflower oil and the bead turned out OK a little moist but not bad had two slices for breakfast i think i will put a little Les flour in the next time and see if that helps the moistness.
