Directions

1. Preheat the KitchenAid® Convection Digital Countertop Oven to 400˚F. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to your nonstick multipurpose pan. Set aside.
2. Fill a small bowl with warm tap water. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to warm up the bowl, then discard water. Add 3/4 hot tap water (around 105-115˚F), sugar and yeast to the small sized bowl. Stir until the yeast is mostly dissolved (it’s okay if mixture is a little lumpy). Allow to sit for 5 minutes, until mixture starts to bubble and foam (the bubbling and foaming means the yeast has been activated).
3. While the yeast is activating, combine the flour and salt in a medium sized ceramic bowl from your KitchenAid® Ceramic 3-Piece Nesting Mixing Bowl Set. Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula to stir until all flour is incorporated.
