Answer 2

Basic Dough

1 pkg yeast (2 - 1/4 teaspoons)

3 cups of flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon oleo, butter or vegetable shortening

1 tablespoon powdered milk (optional but it makes a soft dough)

1 cup of water no hotter than 120 degrees F

Mix and knead the dough by hand, mixer or in a bread machine set on the dough cycle ‘til you’ve made a soft, smooth dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it and let it rise for 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide into portions and place on greased cookie sheet. Let rise 30 to 45 minutes or until puffy.

Bake at 375F for approximately 11 minutes.
