Ingredients
  • For dough:
  • 1-1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2-3/4 cup freshly milled hard white wheat flour
  • ¼ cup vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. nonfat instant dry milk
  • 1 Tbsp. + ¼ to ½ cup melted butter (to your liking)
  • 1 Tbsp. vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. potato flakes (not pearls)
Instructions
  1. In your mixing bowl, whisk together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Set mixture aside to stand for 5 minutes, allowing the yeast to proof. After 5 minutes, add the remainder of your ingredients and mix on low speed for 5-7 minutes until the dough has cleaned the sides of the mixing bowl. If your dough is too wet, mix in small amounts of flour until it is no longer sticky. If your dough is too dry, mix in small amounts of water until it is no longer dry. Once the dough is thoroughly mixed, remove the bowl from the mixer, over with a clean kitchen towel, and set in a warm location to rise for 1-1/2 hours.
  2. After 1-1/2 hours, punch down your dough and knead for 2-3 minutes. Roll dough out into a large rectangle, roughly 12"x18".
