Preparing the Dough
Activate the Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy. If the mixture doesn’t froth, the yeast may be old or the water too hot/cold. Start again with fresh yeast and water.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of flour and the salt.
Combine Ingredients:
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yeast mixture and softened butter (and honey or olive oil, if using). Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
