    All-purpose flour unbleached or Bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp
    Salt fine or Kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp

Instructions

1

Activate the yeast

Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.

2

Mix the dough

Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Mix until the dough starts to come together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

3

Knead the dough

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Knead for about 8-10 minutes to develop the gluten structure.

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size.

Place the bowl in a warm, draft-free area for optimal rising.

5

Prepare the dough portions

Divide the dough into portions, shape into balls, and let rest for 10 minutes before using.

Resting the dough allows it to relax, making it easier to shape.
