Katey's Kitchen

• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp fine sea salt 

~Put the sugar in a glass that holds about 3/4 cup

~Add a scant 1/2 cup of the warm water and stir with a small spoon to dissolve the sugar

~Sprinkle yeast over the surface and let stand in warm place, without touching it, for 10 minutes. It should foam up to reach the rim of the glass

~Heap the flour on a work surface.  Scatter the salt over it and then mix into the flour

~Make a well in the center

~With a small spoon stir the yeast mixture in the glass and then pour it into the well together with the remaining warm water

~Mix these ingredients together with your fingertips, using a rapid circular movement and working from the center of the well outward

~When well mixed, roll the dough into a ball and, on a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth an elastic, about 5 – 6 minutes

~Place in large lightly floured bowl and cover with a cloth

~Allow to rest in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours

~Tap the dough down, transfer to floured surface and knead as before for 3 minutes

~Dough is now ready to be used
