1 TBSP yeast
2 TBSP sugar
1 tsp salt
2 TBSP vegetable oil
1 cup warm water
1) Add yeast, sugar and water in mixing bowl and give it a little mix. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until yeast is bubbly. Add flour, oil & salt to mixing bowl.
2) Pre-heat oven to LOWEST setting (my oven's lowest is 170 degrees). After it is pre-heated, turn the oven off.
3) Using the dough hook attachment, mix dough on low speed for 7 minutes.
4) Spray a large metal or glass bowl with cooking spray, and place dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel, and place in warm oven to rise for 30-45 minutes. The dough will double in size. After you remove the dough from the oven, punch it down and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
5) Shape the dough however you want; braid, peasant bread, baguette loaf...whatever floats your boat for the day.
6) Place shaped bread on sprayed cookie sheet or in a sprayed loaf pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
7) After the bread is done, immediately place on a cooling rack.
**I have also added Italian herbs, cheeses, and minced garlic in with the ingredients before mixing, and it is awesome! Be creative!!**
