In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast.

Gradually add warm water while mixing to form a shaggy dough.

Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Grease a bowl with oil, add dough, and turn to coat.

Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

Punch down dough and use as desired—for rolls, loaves, or flatbreads.

Swap sugar for honey for a naturally sweet variation.

Add garlic powder, herbs, or dried fruit for customized flavor.

Great for pizza dough, sandwich bread, or pita.
