2. In a bowl, whisk together warm water and yeast. Let sit for a minute or so.

4. Using wooden spoon, or dough hook, gradually add flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is not the consistency of paste, and has a slight spring to it.
5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for three minutes.
6. Lightly cover with cloth, and let rise 10 minutes.
7. While dough is rising, prepare Soda bath on stove top and bring to a boil. Preheat oven to 400F.
8. Once dough has risen, deflate and flatten it slightly. Cut into long strips. A pizza cutter works well at this point.
9. Cut the long strips into smaller squares.
10. Roll each square into a ball and set aside. Repeat until dough is used up.
11. In batches of four or five, place dough balls into soda bath for around 30-45 seconds. Lift out with slotted spoon, drain, and set on parchment lined cookie sheet.
