Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp yeast may only need 1 depending on your altitude
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups flour Can be bread flour or all purpose. We have used both.

Instructions
 

  • Mix water, sugar and yeast in mixing bowl to proof for ten minutes
  • Add remaining ingredients and kneed for five minutes. Let it rest for five minutes, then kneed again for five minutes
  • Cover in bowl with a wet towel to let sit in a warm, dark place until it doubles in size (about 30 minutes or so)
  • Punch down the dough and form into 2 loaves, many rolls or whatever you'd like this dough to be. Let them rise for another 30 minutes or so. This is a great time to preheat the oven so that it is ready to go.
  • Brush loaves or rolls with an egg wash and bake for about 15 minutes at 350.
