Instructions
- Weigh both the Lukewarm Water and flour for a perfect result always. It will save your valuable time.
- Water should not be boiling hot else it will kill the yeast. Add Sugar and mix till dissolves. Add the instant yeast. Give it a Light Mix. If using Active Dry Yeast, let it rest for 10 mins till Frothy on top. Instant yeast does not need to rest.
- Add the liquid mix into a Big Mixing Bowl. Add in Olive Oil.
- For Healthier option i used half Whole wheat flour and half All Purpose Flour. Weigh the flours using a kitchen weighing scale for a perfect result.
- Add half of the flour mix and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula or spoon.
- Add remaining half and Knead for 5-10 mins.
- Do not Add more than 3-4 Tablespoon of Extra Flour During Kneading
- TUCK towards the Bottom and Shape into a Smooth Ball. The Dough should still be a bit sticky for a Soft Crust. So avoid adding too much extra flour during kneading.
- Grease the Bowl & the Dough with Olive oil and keep covered airtight in a warm place till it doubles in size. It took an hour for me. If using active dry yeast, then it may take more time around 1 1/2 hour to double.
