    Mix water, yeast, and sugar. Add oils and salt if desired, mix well. Add about half of the flour mixing until all the lumps are gone. Add the rest of the flour, adding flour until you get consistent dough. Leave in bowl and cover with a dish towel in a warm place. Allow the dough to rise to double its size, punch down, and allow the dough to rise a second time.
