Mix on low speed using the dough hook until dough comes together and pulls away from the bowl. Increase mixing speed to medium-high; let knead for 10 minutes.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a ball. Place dough ball into a bowl that’s been brushed or sprayed with oil; cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 1 hour.
