Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (or milk). Sprinkle with sugar, cover, and let rise.
In a large pan mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and butter/shortening.
Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing and kneading until dough is smooth and tender.
Cover with a blanket and put in a warm place for two hours or until dough rises.
Cut dough into pieces 2 to 2 1/2 in diameter. Form into balls by tucking the dough underneath the balls to make them round and smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes between blankets. (This is where I spread the olive oil under the dough, and coated the ball with olive oil as well. I also left it uncovered. ).
This dough is now ready to be used with various fillings. :).
