Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast
  • 1.5 cups Warm water

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water, then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
