Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 packages active baker's yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups warm water
7 1/2 cups flour
3 teaspoons salt
9 tablespoons olive oil
1. Proof each packet of the yeast with 1/3 teaspoon of the sugar in 1 cup of warm water for three minutes or untill foamy. You will have three seperate containers of yeast.
2. In a food processor combine 2 cups of the flour and 1 teaspoon salt. With the motor running, pour in one proofed yeast mixture, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 cup water down the feed tube and process the mixture untill it forms a ball, adding more flour a little at a time if the dough is too wet. The dough should pull itself into a ball and clean off the walls of the processsor. Repeat this process three times till you have used up all ingredients.
Place the three balls of dough in a large oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat evenly with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or till doubled in bulk.
