. Add the flour, butter and salt
and process until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.
Add the cold water to yeast mixture. W

running, pour the liquid through the feed tube as fast as
the flour absorbs it. Once the dough cleans the sides of
the work bowl and forms a ball, pr
ocess for 45 seconds to
knead the dough. Dough should be smooth and elastic.
