Add flour, salt and yeast to the bowl of food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
With the motor running, slowly pour 1 ¾ cup room temperature water through the feed tube. The dough should begin coming together into a shaggy mess.
If all is well, continue running the food processor for 45 seconds.
If the dough remains in separate chunks, it's too dry. Add water, a little at a time until shaggy mess is achieved.
If water is sloshing about, and the dough looks like pancake batter, it's too wet. Turn the machine off and add flour, maybe 1/4 cup at a time, until, yes, shaggy mess.
Once dough is the consistency you like, just use your plastic bench scraper to scrape it into the bucket. Pop on the lid, set the bucket in a warm or cool area depending on whether you want a fast or slow rise.
Wash up! You'll want to wash the food processor work bowl and blade right away. Once the dough remnants harden up they're like concrete and super hard to remove!
Let the dough rise for approximately 1 hour, then proceed with your recipe.
