• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup very warm water
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1 1/2 cup additional flour (extra flour if still too sticky)
• 1 gallon size zip style plastic bag
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons

Step 1: Put yeast, 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar and salt into bag.

Step 2: Add margarine and warm water.

Step 3: Press most of the air out of the bag and seal.

Step 4: Press and squeeze the bag with your hands until the dough becomes mixed.

Step 5: Open bag and add last 1 1/2 cups flour.

Step 6: Reseal bag and keep squeezing until the flour is worked into the dough.

Step 7: Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more flour if your dough is very sticky.

Step 8: Unzip the bag and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
