Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar

1. Add milk, olive oil, flour, sugar, salt, and yeast to bread machine according to manufacturer's directions. Select dough cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

2. Divide dough into six portions; shape each portion into a smooth ball. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
