By Cohutt:
Not much to it really after you do it once or twice
1 pack of yeast
¼ tsp sugar
1 cup of water +
3 ½ cups of unbleached bread flour
¼ cup rye or whole wheat flour
3 tsp salt
Proof the yeast in ¼ cup of hot tap water by stirring it with the sugar
Add the cup of water to this when it bubbles up some
Put flour in food processor with a plastic dough blade
Turn on processor and slowly by steadily pour the water/yeast mixture in until the dough forms a ball that runs around the bowl a bit.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes
Check it- if sticky/wet feeling to the touch add a tiny amount of flour and run the processor.
Once it is soft to the touch but no sticky, turn on the processor and have it turn the ball 30 times – 30 laps. If you do much more the dough will overheat.
Let it rest 5 minutes then turn out on a lightly floured surface and pound flat, fold over, repeat about 30 times.
