Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Dough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup warm water (110\u00b0F or warm to the touch)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 package (2 1\/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/4 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Activate the Yeast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix the Dough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the salt and vegetable oil (or melted butter) to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough starts to come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knead the Dough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if the dough is sticky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
