## Ingredients

- 1.33 cups warm water
- 1 packet yeast
- 2.25 teaspoons yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt

## Instructions

1. In a large glass bowl, add 1 and 1/3 cups of warm water (no more than 115 degrees).
2. Add 1 packet of yeast (or 2 and 1/4 teaspoons), 1 tablespoon of sugar, and stir.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and stir.
4. Add 3 cups of bread flour (or all-purpose) and 1 teaspoon of salt.
5. Stir until the ingredients start to come together. You can do this by hand if you want.
6. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gather it together.  Then start to knead the dough for 5-10 minutes by pulling the front and pushing it down on the top.
7. Once the dough starts to come together, grab the top and push down with the heel of your hand and turn. Repeat for 5-10 minutes.
8. Spray a bowl with oil, place the dough inside, top down, and swirl it around. Flip the dough.
9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
10. Punch down the dough to release the air.
11. Cut the dough in half using a knife or bench scraper, and shape into two balls.
12. Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet or other container. If freezing, wrap each ball tightly in plastic wrap, then a zip lock bag and label.
