Method of making bread
First Claim
1. A method of preparing dough, said method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a mixer having a blade and a mixing bowl;
selecting liquid components;
selecting dry components comprising flour and yeast;
adding the dry components to the mixing bowl;
measuring the temperature of the dry components to obtain a dry component temperature;
selecting a base temperature in a range of about 100-200°
F.;
subtracting the dry component temperature from the base temperature to obtain a calculated liquid temperature;
adjusting the temperature of the liquid components to the calculated liquid temperature;
starting the mixer;
adding the liquid components to the mixer, thereby forming dough from the dry components and the liquid components;
stopping the mixer after the mixer has run for a mix period of time, said mix period of time beginning when the mixer is started and being in a range of about 15-120 seconds; and
allowing the dough to sit for a fermentation period of time.

Abstract
A method of making bread dough, pizza dough, and bread using a food processor having a cutting blade. Flour, yeast, and salt are placed in a bowl of the mixer and their temperature is taken to obtain a dry component temperature. Depending on the type of mixer selected, a base temperature of either about 130° F. or about 150° F. is selected. The dry component temperature is subtracted from the base temperature to obtain a calculated liquid temperature. The temperature of a quantity of water is adjusted to the calculated liquid temperature. The mixer is started and the water is added to the bowl. The mixer is allowed to run for about 45 seconds and is then turned off. The dough is allowed to ferment and is then formed into loaves or pizza crusts, which are baked in an oven.
