5 cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup oil
2 cups water
Mix together beginning with 4 cups flour and adding in more to make a smooth dough. Knead this just a few turns. It's a good bread if you have trouble kneading or stiff arms. Let it raise 2 times, punch down after 30 minutes. Form into buns or loaves of bread or pizza, 🍕 this is a universal dough. Let raise again then, Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. (More toppings on the pizza take more time in the oven.)
Many years (before 2004) ago I found this recipe and I started to have success with bread making. The trick to no kneading is to double raise the dough.
Now trust me... I don't usually have time for all that raising when it's lunchtime and the children want pizza. I mix and smash it into pizza pans throw sauce and toppings at it and place in the hot oven. But the best pizza, nice, thick, soft crust, I let the dough raise at least once after it's on the pizza pan (before the toppings)
I took these buns to Thanksgiving dinner at the hall, there was a lot of people at Thanksgiving dinner. I brought about 50 buns and they disappeared so quickly.
My dad got a blue ribbon at the county fair using this recipe.
