Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon dry active yeast -- (1 packet)

2 teaspoons sugar

1 cup warm water -- (98 to 115F.)

2 teaspoons salt

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- up to 3

 

Serves 4 to 6

 

TOTAL TIME: about 2 hours

TIME TO PREPARE: about 30 minutes

REFRIGERATION/FREEZING: refrigerate up to 3 days

FREEZE: up to 6 months.

 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and sugar. Stir in the water and

let the mixture rest until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Stir lightly. Add the

salt and enough flour to make a dough that's soft and pliable, but not

sticky. Lightly flour a large, flat work surface, turn the dough out of

the bowl, and knead until it's smooth. Alternatively, knead the dough in a

food processor or Mixmaster.

 

Clean out the mixing bowl, dry it thoroughly, and grease it lightly or

squirt it with nonstick spray. Shape the dough into a ball and place in

the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set the dough aside in a

warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour, 15 minutes.

 

Note: The above recipe can also be used as a base for calzones.

 

BREAD MACHINE OPTION: Place all of the ingredients in your breadmaker

according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the dough has risen,

take it out of the machine, shape it as directed in the recipe, and

continue to follow the recipe from that point.
