Really? Strange. I just out it back in the fridge and left it
alone.

I was thinking to bring it to room temp, add more flour, let it sit
and try to make roti.

I don't know how to make bread. I am sure I can find a reciope but
what would be the easiest recipe to follow for using this dough? And
can I just leave the dough in the fridge and deal with making bread
tomorrow unless I should add flour today and need to let it sit?

Also, I don't have any thing to put the bread in and bake it - I never
bought any bakign pan after I moved here from another state, leavign
behind lots of stuff - but I won't mind buying one. I won't mind
baking my bread on regular basis. In fact, I want to bake somehting
that's like the one from this Italian restaurant hmm..I forgot the
name.. I used to go there a lot when I was in Houston. It's one of the
mjaor chain store. Prices were not cheap either but I wouldn't eat
Italian food anywhere else except that resturant and one family
restaurant near where I lived.

I will but first an easy bread recipe, even if it is sourdough bread?
remember that this is 100% whole wheat.
