2. In a measuring jug combine the warm water with the yeast and sugar (or honey). Stir to incorporate the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes. The mixture should become frothy as the yeast activates..
3. In a large mixing bowl or large mixing stand (if using a mixer) add 1 cup of the flour and 1/4 cup of the oil infused garlic along with the yeast, sugar and water mixture to the bowl. Stir with a fork a few times until all of the flour has mixed in. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add the remaining flour (1 1/2 cups) and the salt to the bowl. Stir the mixture with a fork (or utensil of preference)..

Alternatively, if using a stand mixer mix the mixture on setting 2 and when the dough forms increase the setting to 3 and knead until smooth. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl, cover with an oiled cling film and keep in warm place (for best results let the dough rise in warm area such as the oven)..
