1 package active dry yeast dissolved in
1 cup warm water
1 egg yolk, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt, blended with
2 cups unbleached white flour

Mix yeast solution into egg yolk with a fork. Beat in flour. Turn out dough onto floured board and knead until smooth. Place kneaded dough in a flour-sprinkled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for two hours, or until doubled in bulk.

The dough can now be split into two pieces. You can try to roll it into a circle if you have a pizza pan, or just do your best and use cookie sheets.
