Ingredients

• 350 g (about ¾ lb) white flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt

• 8 oz warm water

Procedure

1. Mix sugar, salt, and yeast into a little warm milk. Let stand for a few minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the yeast mixture into the flour.
3. Add the warm water, and knead the dough until it doesn't stick to your fingers.
4. Cover dough with a cloth, and put it in warm place (for instance near a heater) until doubled in size.
5. Knead the dough again, and let rest until it doubles again.
6. Knead it some more, and sprinkle with some flour.
7. Put the dough in the greased pan in which you plan to bake it, spreading it out until it's about ½ inch thick. Let rest for about half an hour.
