Combine

To combine flour, water, and salt for a good dough:

1. Measure Flour and Salt: In a large mixing bowl, accurately measure the flour called for in your recipe. Add the salt directly to the flour and whisk or stir thoroughly to distribute it evenly.
2. Measure Water: In a separate container, measure the water specified in your recipe. Ensure the water is at the correct temperature (usually room temperature or slightly warm, depending on your recipe).
3. Combine Water and Flour: Pour the water into the bowl with the flour and salt.
4. Initial Mix: Use a spatula, wooden spoon, or your hands to begin mixing the ingredients. Gently stir or fold the flour into the water until a shaggy, rough dough forms.
