Ok.. First rise is over. Check dough and make sure it has atleast doubled in size. If it hasn't you will need to let it rise a little longer. (pic1) Punch the dough down on the counter and sprinkle with flour again. (pic2) Flatten out the dough and cut it in two pieces. (pic3) 870-100_0515.jpg 871-100_0516.jpg 872-100_0519.jpg

Dampen a cheese cloth with hot water (ring out any excess water)(pic1) and place over the bowl. You are going to want to set the bowl out of the way in a warm place for the first rise. (pic2) 1Hour 868-100_0510.jpg 869-100_0512.jpg

Put a cap full of oil into a big bowl and swirl it around. (pic1) Using the dough rub the oil around the bowl . It keeps the dough from sticking and coats the dough with oil to keep it moist while rising.(pic2) 866-100_0508.jpg 867-100_0511.jpg

Put dough on floured surface and sprinkle flour on the top and flatten out. I knead the dough with my knuckles and fingers-some knead with the heal of their hands- (pic1) Fold the dough in half (pic2) pat some of the flour off and rotate 90 degrees(pic3) and knead again. Knead the dough for approx 5 min.(kneading, folding, rotating) And form the dough into a ball. (pic4) 862-100_0500.jpg 863-100_0501.jpg 864-100_0502.jpg 865-100_0507.jpg

Add in half of the white flour (approximately 2 cups) (pic1) and mix. Add in 1.5 cups of white flour and mix throughly until dough pulls away from the sides. (pic2) Prepare a flat surface for kneading the dough. Sprinkle flour on flat surface. (pic3) 859-100_0483.jpg 860-100_0485.jpg 861-100_0498.jpg

Then I get warm tap water (2 1/2 cups) (pic1) and mix. Using a rubber spatula to pull away from sides and bottom. Add in 3 cups of wheat flour (pic2) and mix. Using a rubber spatula to pull away from sides and bottom. Allow to mix throughly for 1-2 minutes. 857-100_0481.jpg 858-100_0482.jpg

In my KitchenAid (just got it a few months ago or I would be doing this all by hand) I put in 1/2 TBS salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1TBS yeast. (pic1) Next I add in 1/3 cup oil. (pic2) 855-100_0478.jpg 856-100_0479.jpg
