Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar (or substitute for savory options)
• 1.5 cups Warm water (around 110°F or 45°C)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, salt, and sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the kneaded dough into a clean, lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for approximately 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Transfer it to a floured surface for shaping or rolling, depending on your desired pastry recipe.

Step 6

Proceed with shaping the dough for your chosen sweet or savory application (e.g., rolls, pockets, or braided bread). Allow the shaped dough to rest/rise again for 20–30 minutes until slightly puffed.

Step 7

Bake the dough according to your specific recipe instructions, typically at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Cool the baked pastries on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your healthy, fat-free yeasted pastries!
