Ingredients

Step 1

Combine yeast, warm water and sugar in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface.

Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes or until dough is doubled in size.

A good quality flour suitable for bread making is best. It may be labelled or sold as “00” plain flour.
