For step by step tutorial follow photos.
(Note I forgot pictures of the first few steps… here’s the details)
Put sugar in bowl and add water give it a lil stir to dissolve and sprinkle yeast over the top… let it set till it gets foamy 5-15 mins then add the salt, oil & 3 cups flour and mix. If your using a mixer change it out to your dough hook and add the remaining 3 cups flour, mix till its formed a ball and pull it out… knead it a little more to form a soft round ball, place it into a greased bowl and flip it so its grease on both sides… top it with saran wrap or warm damp cloth let rise and follow the remaining directions on the other pictures!
