- Milk 2 cups
- Oil 4 tea spoons
Instructions
- In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients, then add some milk and make sure that salt and yeast grains are fully mixed. Add milk and kneed the dough about 5 minutes. When the mixture starts looking like dough, add oil and keep kneading until the oil is mixed with the rest.
- When the dough is too stiff to stir, turn it out onto a lightly floured board and kneed for 5 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Leave it in the bowl; apply oil on surface and cover to rise for 30 minutes on warm place. When the dough is about double to its original size, punch it down to eliminate the air
bubbles and leave for more 15 minutes. - Preheat oven at 180 degree C.
