Dough Ingredients

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
