Proof your yeast right in the Kitchen Aid mixer bowl.

Warm the bowl under hot water.

In the warm bowl add 1 Cup warm water (100'-110' F) mixed with 1 teaspoon of the superfine sugar, & sprinkle the yeast on top, stir and set aside.

You will know your yeast is proofed when it has bubbles and foam on top.

In another small bowl mix the remaining sugar, gluten flour, salt & baking soda, add this to the proofed yeast in the mixing bowl.

In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, microwave Smart Balance until completely melted and in the same cup add the buttermilk to the 2 Cup line.

Knead on a floured surface for a few minutes until the dough is smooth and not sticky.

In a large clean bowl add the oil and cover the sides of the bowl with oil.

Place the smooth ball of dough into the bowl turning it to cover all sides of the dough with oil.

Cover with a clean towel and let it rise until double in size.
