1.
For the dough, stir the yeast with 250 ml lukewarm water. Mix flour with salt, put in a bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture and oil, knead all ingredients by hand or with an electric mixer’s beaters until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add more flour; if it’s too dry, add a little more lukewarm water.
