  • Add the remaining flour working it together with your hands until a dough forms ( if the dough seems too wet, add extra sprinkles of flour until it's workable)

  • 1st rise....place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 2 hours or until dough has doubled in size
