step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the Brown Sugar (2 Tbsp) and Milk (1 cup) until dissolved. In a large bowl, combine All-Purpose Flour (2 3/4 cups), the milk mixture and Instant Dry Yeast (1 pckg).

step 3

Brush the inside of a large bowl with olive oil. Move the dough to the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 2 hours, until dough has doubled in size and bubbles appear on the surface.
