✔ 3½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
✔ 1 cup warm water (not too hot!)
✔ 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
✔ 1 teaspoon sugar (helps activate the yeast)
✔ 1 teaspoon salt
✔ 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
✔ 1 teaspoon yogurt (optional, for extra softness)
🔄 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Activate the Yeast
✔ In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast.
✔ Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
✅ If no foam appears, the yeast is inactive—start again with fresh yeast!
2️⃣ Make the Dough
✔ In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
✔ Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and yogurt.
✔ Mix until a sticky dough forms.
✅ Tip: Add a little extra flour if too sticky, but don’t overdo it!
