  • 2 teaspoons white sugar or honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons table salt
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil (plus extra)
  • 11 oz cool water

Directions:

  1. Combine flour, sugar or honey, salt, yeast, and olive oil.
  2. Mix flour with paddle attachment on low for 1 to 2 minutes until coarse ball forms.
    1. If mixing by hand, 2 to 3 min with a large spoon.
  3. Let rest uncovered for 5 minutes.
  4. Knead dough for 2 to 3 minutes with dough hook (or by hand) until smooth, supple, and slightly tacky (but not sticky).

  5. Lightly oil a bowl which is twice the size of the dough.
  6. Roll the dough in the bowl to coat with oil.
