Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water , (110 degrees)
- 3 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt , divided
- 3 1/2 cups flour , up to 4 cups as needed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
- Spray bottle with ice water
Instructions
- To a stand mixer add the warm water, yeast and sugar and let sit for 10 minutes until cloudy.
- Add the oil, half the salt and 2 cups of the flour with the dough hook and let it combine on medium speed adding the remaining flour in 1/4 cup increments until the dough starts to come together and eventually starts to pull away from the bowl, then turn up the speed and let it knead for 5 minutes.
- Add dough to an oiled bowl and turn in the bowl to coat the dough with oil then cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size for 60 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 16 balls, place on a greased baking sheet and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Brush gently with butter and sprinkle with remaining salt before baking at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes spraying the dough with ice water twice halfway through the baking process to make the crust chewier.

Notes
- This dough is stickier than most bread dough, however the more you knead it, the more it will come together.
- If it isn't pulling from the sides or seems too wet, mix in additional flour, 1-2 tablespoons at time, up to 1/2 cup of flour.
