You can use this dough to make a very simple bread but also to prepare filled pizza or, above all, to realize dishes with pasta, meat or vegetables surrounded with this delicious dough!
Put flour in a bowl or on a work surface. Make a well in the center: add salt, sugar, oil and yeast. Begin to pour in little warm water and with a fork or your fingers gradually incorporate the flour into the water. Keep on pouring in warm water and
incorporating flour until a soft dough forms. If you pour in too water and the dough is very sticky, work in a little more flour. Knead the dough on the work surface for 8 - 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little flour, if necessary.
Cover the dough with a napkin and allow to rest in a warm place for about 2 hours.
The dough is ready for your recipe.
If you want to realize a very simple bread, give the desired shape to your dough and then bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes or until the surface is well colored.
