Ingredients
1 teaspoon dried active yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed while kneading
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup clarified butter or vegetable oil, plus 1 teaspoon

Directions
In a glass-measuring cup, combine the yeast and sugar. Add the water and
stir well. Let rest until foamy, about 5 minutes. Sift together the flour and salt into a large
bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast mixture and oil into the center. Mix
together with your fingers until a smooth dough forms, working in a small amount of additional flour
as needed. Knead for 3 minutes.
Oil a small bowl with the remaining butter or oil. Place the dough into the bowl, turning to coat,
and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
