Ingredients
- 1½ cups warm water (about 45°C / 110-115°F)
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 3½ cups plain flour or bread flour
Rising time: 1 hour
Instructions
Whisk together the water, yeast, olive oil, and salt in a stand mixer. Let the yeast foam for 5 minutes.
Add in 3 cups of flour and use your dough hook to knead. Knead for a minimum of 5 minutes, until the dough it smooth and just slightly tacky, but not sticky. Add the additional ½ cup of flour if needed and knead.
Place the dough in a large, well oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place to proof for 1 hour, or wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store in your refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
Use this to make Frank’s garlic knots or Grandma pizza.
