Method (preview)

1. 1

   Mix well and knead - should be roughly the thickness of a pancake batter. Cover and let stand for at least 2 or 3 hours at 70 to 75 degrees F. Can easily go overnight if water is the base liquid, though I wouldn't do it that long with milk.

2. 2

   After this, when ready to make the dough, add the salt and mix in. Then add any other ingredients (other than flour) and incorporate. Only now add the balance of the flour and finish making the dough as you normally would.
