Bread Dough

Ingredients: 

  • 1 1/2 cups hot water
  • 1/2 cup milk 
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp sugar 
  • 4 tsp oil
  • 4 cups plain flour (1 extra cup for reserve)
  • 4 tsp yeast

Directions:

  • Place all ingredients into bowl in order, mix and kneed adding a little extra flour as needed, kneading until you have a nice dough that is not sticky but not too dry. Roll into a ball. Cover and allow to rise. Let sit about half an hour. Should almost double in size. 
  • Oil a pan and make buns/rolls/biscuits, or loaf of bread. Roll out for a pizza, base thickness up to you. Should get at least two pizzas from this. Or just use your imagination. Allow to rise again for another 5-10 minutes. 
  • Oven can be on high to heat only (375). Takes between 5-10 minutes to cook. Please watch as each oven is slightly different. 
  • Note: oiling/flouring your hands helps with the kneading.
