Directions:1. In a small mixing bowl, add yeast to ¼ cup water. Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over the mixture and let sit for 5 minutes, or until frothy/foamy. Add remaining 1¼ cups water and 1 tsp sugar. Add oil and stir to combine.
2. Combine salt and flour in a medium mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer, or by hand, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Beat until smooth on medium speed. If dough is too wet, add a little more dough to make the dough soft.
3. On a lightly floured surface (or in the mixer bowl with bread hook)., knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes.
4. Lightly grease a large bowl with a bit of oil and place dough into bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with dish towel and let rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set oven to 400 degrees.
6. Punch down dough and, on a lightly floured surface, divide into 8 balls. Using rolling pin, roll each ball into a square. Roll dough lengthwise and tuck under ends. Roll again to seal ends and shape into a long oval roughly the size of a hoagie roll you wish to make. Arrange long ovals on parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Slice a ¼ inch deep slit across the top of each piece. Cover again and let rise and additional 25 minutes.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack. |
