Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by dissolving it in ¼ cup of lukewarm water with honey. Wait about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour with the remaining lukewarm water and add the yeast mixture. Mix gently until you have a soft and sticky dough.
  3. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes until doubled in size.
