1teaspoon active dry yeast
¼cup granulated sugar, divided
11⁄3 cups warm water
3cups unbleached,
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon canola oil

2.Mix yeast with a pinch of the sugar and stir into 1⁄3 cup of the warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy.
3.In a large stainless steel bowl combine the flour, remaining sugar and the baking soda. Stir to mix and make a small well in the center.
4.Add the remaining water to the yeast mixture and slowly pour it into the flour, using one hand to pour while the other mixes the dough. If the dough appears too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough starts to come together. Add the oil and use your hands to work the dough until well combined.
