How To Make The Dough

Place all dry ingredients in the bowl of the stand mixer, and whisk for 1-2 minutes to ensure the instant yeast is well distributed.

Add the warm water and oil, and use the hook attachment to mix them at medium speed.

Shape the dough into a ball, grease the bowl and put it in it.
