Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
5 Tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup hot water
1 1/3 cups high-gluten flour (Pillsbury Bread Flour)
1 small egg, beaten
3 3/4 tablespoons peanut oil
In large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in hot water. Set in a warm place for 30-60 mins, depending upon the outside temp (allow longer during winter).
When yeast rises and a brownish foam forms on top, add flour, egg, and peanut oil, stirring continuously with your hand. Begin kneading. When the mass becomes cohesive, sprinkle a work surface with flour, place dough on it, and continue kneading. Knead for about 15 minutes, picking up dough with a scraper and sprinkling the work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
When smooth and elastic, place dough in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and put it in a warm place to rise. Dough will take from 2-4 hours to rise (depending on weather again). The dough is ready when it has tripled in size.

NOTES : I have used a food processor and my Kitchen Aid making this recipe with fantastic results in half the time and effort.
