INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt 
  • 1 egg 
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil 
  • 4-5 cups of flour

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the yeast to the hot water. The water should be hot to the touch, but not burning hot (I wait until hot water comes out of my faucet and that's the hot water I use). Add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well until yeast dissolves. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until it starts to foam. 
Mix yeast, water and sugar

Add Yeast To Hot Water

  • In a large bowl, add the rest of the sugar, the olive oil, the salt, and then the egg and mix well with a spatula.
