Ingredients

8 servings

For the dough

1 tsp active dry yeast
Ingredient note
Low histamine diets often flag yeast because of its association with fermentation, but baker's yeast is a fresh cultured leavening that does not carry the pre-formed histamine of aged or fermented foods, and the small amount used to raise dough adds little. It is likely fine here. If you prefer to always avoid active dry yeast, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp granulated sugar
¾ cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil, then stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
