  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, more for kneading
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil, divided

  1. Pour the warm water into a large bowl. Sprinkle on the sugar and yeast. Let this sit for 10 minutes until the top is foamy.
  2. Add in the melted butter, flour, and salt. Stir to combine. Take it out of the bowl, and knead for 5 minutes.
  3. Form the dough into a ball, and place it in a bowl that has been coated with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cover, and place it in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Cover, and let sit for 30 minutes.
