- ¾ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1½ cup (200 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt

- Place flour, yeast and salt, optional into the Vitamix 48 ounce DRY container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Select Variable 1.
- Start the machine and slowly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5 seconds to create a hole in the center. Turn machine off and remove lid plug.
- Select Variable 6.
- Use the On/Off switch to quickly pulse about 30 short times in 25 seconds while slowly adding oil and water through the lid plug opening. Remove the lid and use a spatula to scrape the dough off the sides.
- Secure the lid and continue pulsing another 30 times until a ball forms.
