Ingredients: 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast 2-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°) 3 tablespoons sugar plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons canola oil And so on.
Instructions:
First step, In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand until bubbles form on surface. Whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 3 cups flour. Stir oil into yeast mixture; pour into flour mixture and beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
Step 02, Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
