Ingredients
3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups (360ml) warm milk or water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk or water with sugar and instant yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Add flour and salt. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough and use immediately, refrigerate, or freeze for later use.
Notes
- Use water instead of milk for a crispier pizza crust.
- Add more sugar or vanilla for sweet applications like cinnamon rolls.
- Mix in herbs or garlic powder for savory variations.
- Store in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
- Reheat baked goods in 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–10 minutes.
