- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
- Combine Ingredients: Make a well in the dry mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until combined; it may be slightly sticky.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let It Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled—about an hour.
