Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, yogurt, egg, and olive oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it as desired (pizza, cinnamon rolls, or dinner rolls).
