  • 2 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

In a large bowl whisk together the yeast, warm water and sugar.  Let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.  Add in the milk, olive oil, salt and 1 cup of flour.   Mix until well combined.  Add the remaining flour until a dough has formed.   Remove dough from bowl and knead on a well floured surface for 5 minutes.  Transfer the dough back to the bowl and coat with oil.  Cover and let sit for 45 minutes.

Store in an airtight container, these are best served the day prepared, but can also be reheated by placing a damp paper towel over it and placed in the microwave for a couple of seconds.
