Ingredients

  • cups All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Powdered Milk
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
  • tbsp Yeast
  • ¾-1 cups Water
  • 1 cup Milk

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl add the flour, powdered milk, salt, sugar and yeast. Mix together.
  • Make a small well in the mixture. Pour in the oil, milk and ¾ cup of water.
  • Use your hands to combine the mixture into a dough. Add water a bit at a time and keep mixing until you have a nice dough.
  • Add up to a ¼ cup water if the dough appears dry and hard to work.
  • Cover and leave to rise until double in size.
  • Once doubled in size, knead the dough gently for 15 seconds.
  • Flour a surface. Take a fist sized chunk of dough and place it on the floured surface.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it has roughly a 7 inch circumference. 
  • Place on baking paper on a baking tray. Cook in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 450°F (230°C).
