  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon vital wheat gluten

  • To make the dough add water, flours, and salt to the pan with the sponge. Process on dough setting.
  • When cycle has finished turn the dough out onto a smooth surface lightly sprayed with water, and with wet hands knead it to remove any remaining air bubbles. Form a tight round loaf. Place loaf on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover, let rise for 1 ½ hours. The loaf is ready to be baked when a finger-poke indentation does not bounce back.
