4 1/2 to 4 3/4 c. flour
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. water
2 tbsp. oil

Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In saucepan heat water and oil until warm (120 to 130 degrees). Add to flour, blend at low speed until moistened, medium speed 3 more minutes. By hand stir in enough flour to make a firm dough.

Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover dough with plastic wrap, then a towel, let rest 20 minutes on board. Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal parts, shape each into smooth ball.

Place on board allowing space between each ball, cover and let rise 30 minutes. Roll each into a 6 inch circle. Place 3 circles at a time directly onto oven rack.

Bake at 500 degrees until puffed and top just begins to turn brown, about 3 minutes. Cool on racks, cut into halves (top to bottom) and add filling of your choice.
