Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into portions. Shape into balls and let rest for another 30 minutes before using.

Notes

  • Make sure your water is not too hot to prevent killing the yeast.
  • For best results, let the dough ferment in the fridge overnight.
