I have used this recipe for a long time. In fact, I noted the level of the
flour in the work bowl ( it comes up to the shoulder of the FP blade) and I
just "eyeball" the flour measurement. I use instant yeast, so that goes in
with the flour - a scant tablespoon- and while I have that spoon out, I fill
it half way with salt. The oil is just poured in. I turn on the machine
and put hot tap water into the feed tube until a ball is form. I let that
knead for about a minute (40 - 50 revolutions in the bowl). Voila - dough.
No mess, almost no measuring, no timers. I also don't have to come back
after a bread machine has finished mixing the dough and go on to the next
step. I know for a fact that if I left to do something else that I might
forget about the dough for a couple hours. Getting older does that to you!
