Contains: Gluten, Wheat

Directions

  1. In a bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water. Stir in sugar. Let sit about 10 minutes until proofed. It should appear bubbled and foamed.

  2. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the oil. Add yeast mixture and mix just until the dough comes together. It will be sticky.

  3. Grease a bowl and place the dough in it, turning to lightly coat it in oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise for one to two hours at room temperature or up to four days in the fridge. Return refrigerated dough to room temperature before using.

Tips:
For best results, prepare dough at least 24 hours in advance, although three or four days is even better.
