Recipe type: Bread
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1½ teaspoons sugar
  • 12 ounces warm water (105˚-110˚)
  • 20 ounces bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the water. Let set for 10 minutes, until bubbly and foamy on top. Mix in flour, then salt.
  2. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Coat interior of a large bowl with the oil. Place dough in the bowl. Flip dough over and cover with a clean, moist towel. If the dough looks like it might rise above the bowl rim, loosely cover with plastic wrap and then the towel. Put in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about an hour. Punch down dough and allow it to relax, covered, for 15 minutes. Shape into various forms, such as a loaf, rolls, Bread Dough Cornucopia or crust for my Turkey Cranberry Pizza Supreme.
