Ingredients:
2 tsp dry active yeast ($0.19)
1 tsp sugar ($0.02)
1/2 cup water ($0.00)
2 1/2-3 cups flour, divided ($0.39)
1/2 tsp salt ($0.05)
2 tsp dry active yeast ($0.19)
1 tsp sugar ($0.02)
1/2 cup water ($0.00)
2 1/2-3 cups flour, divided ($0.39)
1/2 tsp salt ($0.05)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and water. Stir to dissolve then let sit for a few minutes or until it is frothy on top. Once frothy, whisk in the oil, yogurt, and egg until evenly combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour with the salt. Next, pour the bowl of wet ingredients to the flour/salt mixture and stir until well combined. Continue adding flour, a half cup at a time, until you can no longer stir it with a spoon (about 1 to 1.5 cups later).
- At that point, turn the ball of dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the ball of dough for about 3 minutes, adding small amounts of flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. You'll end up using between 2.5 to 3 cups flour total. The dough should be smooth and very soft but not sticky. Avoid adding excessive amounts of flour as you knead, as this can make the dough too dry and stiff.
