Dough Mixing (Photo Tutorial)

(This post is the 2nd in a 5-part series of photo tutorial instructions.  See the original recipe here.)
 
Mix the wet ingredients in a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Mix dry ingredients separately.

 

Place preheated wet ingredients in the bottom of a mixer bowl.

Add the dry ingredients on top.

Mix for about 2 minutes, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl.  You may use a spatula to help scrape the sides to get all of the flour incorporated.  If the dough is too sticky, you may add extra flour to help the dough stop sticking to the bowl.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Now you are ready to knead the dough.
