untilmixturestartstofoamorbubble.This
processwilltakeabout10minutes.

Step 2: Preparing the dough
1.Insertdoughhook(refertopage5).Place
thedryingredientsintothebowlandlock
thebowlontothebase.
2.Turnthespeeddialtoalowspeed(1-3),
andgraduallyaddtheliquidingredients
tothebowl.Ifthebowldoesnotturn
unaided,pleasegivethebowlagentle
turntoensurethoroughmixing.Whenthe
ingredientsstarttoformaball,stopthe
mixerandusearubberorplasticspatula
toscrapedownthesidesofthebowlif
necessary.
3.Kneadonlowspeed(1-3)(dependingon
theamountofdough)untilsmoothand
elastic;about5-8minutes.
4.Transferdoughtoalarge,wellgreased
mixingbowl.Coverthebowlwithalight
clothorplasticwrapandplaceitina
warm,draft-freeareauntilthedough
doublesinsize.
