In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast.

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

Add the oil and the yeast mixture.

Mix until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough

Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise for 1–2 hours until it doubles in size.

4. Shape and Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the dough and shape into rolls, loaves, or use for pies.

Place on a greased or lined baking tray.

Let rise for another 15–20 minutes.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips

For a softer crust, brush the tops with milk or an egg wash before baking.

You can add herbs, cheese, or sugar depending on whether you want savory or sweet pastry.

Works great for rolls, buns, or as a base for filled pastries.
