• For ABM, in my machine, on the "dough" cycle, I use 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, and I reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups, the flour to 4 cups, adding a tad more water or flour as it kneads to get a smooth,soft ball of dough. I leave the other ingredients as posted.

Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix it until it comes together to form a dough.
• Pour out the dough - Pour out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth. Add more flour as much as needed, to know if the dough is ready; use the windowpane test to ensure that the gluten strands are well-developed.
• Grease a large bowl - Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and put the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it doubled in size.
