• Wheat flour – 1 and ½ cup
• Rapid rising yeast – 2 tsp
• Honey or sugar – 1 tsp
• Water – 1 cup
• Oil – 2 tsp

Procedure:

1. In a luke warm water add yeast, sugar and wait for 10 minutes or until yeast forms a frothy layer.
2. In a mixing bowl add APF, wheat flour, yeast mixture, salt and oil.  Add yeast mixture little by little and make dough.
3. Cover the dough with wet cloth and let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
4. After one hour dough must have doubled in size, now punch dough and release air from the dough.
