cup of water at a time, watching the dough after
each addition. The dough is of adequate consistency once

sealable bag and either leave in a warm place to rise or
refrigerate to use the next day. If leaving out to rise, allow
an hour for dough to rise, punch down and allow to rise
again for another hour before baking. If using directly from
the refrigerator, allow to come to room temperature, punch
down and allow to rise for another half-hour.
