Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with the instant yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes bubbly and frothy. - Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, olive oil, and the yeast mixture. Stir to combine until the dough begins to come together. - Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour as needed. - Let it Rise:
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise for 1-2 hours in a warm place, or until it doubles in size. - Use the Dough:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it as needed for your recipe. This dough is incredibly versatile—use it for pizzas, breadsticks, rolls, or even pastries!
