Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Step 4
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. Add a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Step 6
Lightly oil a clean bowl and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Step 7
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 8
Once risen, punch the dough down to release excess air and shape it as needed for your desired recipe, such as bread, pizza, or rolls.
