4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon instant active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
4 tablespoon sugar
Half teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoon margarine
Half cup lukewarm water
Method
In a bowl, pour the warm water
Add the yeast
Add sugar
Mix well and leave to rest for ten minutes or until the yeast has foamed.
In a separate bowl, pour flour.
Pour the yeast foam in the centre of the flour.
Add the lukewarm milk
Add salt
Add melted margarine or oil
Knead ingredients together for 20 minutes, adding water as you go along.
Tip: The dough must be soft and spongy. To achieve this, you must knead the dough for ten minutes in a mixer or twenty minutes with your hands.
Cover the bowl with a plastic bag and allow the dough to rise for two hours.
Remove the plastic and knead for a minute.
Put the container in the microwave and set it to high temperature. Cook for five to 10 minutes.
