How to make it

1. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water (around 40°C), mix the yeast in and leave for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a rough dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface (or use a stand mixer) and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
