  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, warm water, yeast, and salt using an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on the lowest speed until combined but still moist, about 2 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Uncover the bowl and mix with the electric mixer on low speed until the dough comes together, about 5 minutes. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1 cup flour, a little at a time, until a soft, sticky dough forms, 1 to 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Increase the mixer speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 8 minutes. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    In the meantime, rub olive oil evenly inside a plastic container.

  5. 5

    Move the dough to a floured work surface. Dust your hands with flour and knead the dough until soft but still wet inside. Shape it into a ball and place it in the prepared container. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 day and up to 7 days.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
