• "Attach dough hook and begin kneading on lowest speed of mixer 8 to 10 minutes, adding additional whole wheat flour, as necessary, to form a soft but firm, somewhat tacky dough."
• "Mix in the flour — kneading is unnecessary: Add all of the flour at once, measuring it in with dry-ingredient measuring cups, by gently scooping up flour, then sweeping the top level with a knife or spatula; don't press down into the flour as you scoop or you'll throw off the measurement by compressing."
• "Sprinkle the salt over the dough and begin kneading again, 5 minutes by hook or 7-8 by hand, to incorporate the salt fully into the dough."
