For the last few years, I have always preactivated the yeast with lukewarm water in a bowl for twenty minutes (with 1 teaspoon of sugar per 500ml). I then mix the salt (2 tsp per 700g of flour) and flour (plus any other dry ingredients - grated cheese, chopped chillis, walnuts, dates etc) in a large plastic bowl, and add the activated yeast/water mix. I can then decide whether or not to knead the mixture.

Use organic flour only. It is some of the most pesticide contaminated produce on the shelves of the store. Hence the recent mass complaints of indigestions and acquired gluten intolerance. I could explain in detail but not many would understand the science bit.
