  • 1 package (0.25oz = 7g = 2.25tsp) of active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 cup warm water

Directions:

  1. Combine yeast, sugar and warm water in a large bowl. Mix and let it sit for 5 mins until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, combine flour and salt.
