- 2 1/2 c. warm water
- 2 pkg. dry active yeast
- 1/2 c. instant nonfat dry milk
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 1/2 c. cooking oil

- Measure water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water. Add dry milk, sugar, salt, oil and about 3 1/2 cups flour to make a thick batter. Blend well. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed of mixer. By hand, gradually add remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Toss dough on floured surface. Knead until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide in half.
