Mix until a shaggy dough forms.3mPreview3mPreviewAdd the vegetable oil, warm milk, and gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.Water temperature should be lukewarm (around 105-115°F or 40-46°C) to activate the yeast without killing it.
- 3Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 7-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. Add a tiny bit more flour if too sticky, but avoid adding too much.10mPreview10mPreviewTransfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 7-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. Add a tiny bit more flour if too sticky, but avoid adding too much.Proper kneading develops gluten, essential for a soft and chewy crust.
