["Turn oven on and let the oven begin to heat up for 3 or 4 minutes, then turn the heat off and leave the door closed. Warming the oven this way will give your dough excellent conditions for rising.", "In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add the warm water and sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of sugar and the yeast. Let mixture sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, yeast mixture should have grown and become frothy. If it has not grown, then your yeast is dead and you must start over with either a new batch of yeast, or perhaps your water temperature was too hot and it accidentally killed the yeast. Either way, try again.", "To the yeast mixture, add 4 cups of flour, remaining sugar, salt, oil, and eggs. Turn mixer on low and mix until incorporated. Add 2 more cups of flour; mix again. Add 1 more cup of flour; mix again. Increase speed to medium and mix until dough is well combined. Continue mixing for several minutes. Dough should begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl. If dough is too sticky and does not pull away from the sides, add an additional 1/4 cup of flour at a time until it begins to pull away. The dough should still be slightly sticky and not completely dry. (You can do these steps by hand like they used to before the invention of stand mixers but I'm lazy so I use the mixer.)", "Transfer dough to a well-floured surface. Knead dough with your hands for 50 to 75 turns. Be careful that you don't add too much flour to the dough. Just sprinkle the dough with flour as needed so that it doesn't stick to your hands.", "Transfer dough to a lightly oiled, large bowl that will leave plenty of room for the dough to grow. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then a tea towel and place it in the warmed oven. Do not turn the oven back on. Insert a wooden spoon or similar object in the oven door to prevent it from closing all the way. This will allow a small amount of the heat to escape. You don't want to cook the dough but you want to ensure that it is just warm it enough for the dough to rise. Let the dough rise for 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size. Once it has risen, punch it down, cover it again, and place it back in the oven to repeat the process. You do not need to \"reheat\"" the oven.""
