▪ Add 3 cups flour to the bowl, mix until flour is just incorporated. If dough is tacky add the rest of the flour to achieve soft, elastic dough. Knead for about 8 minutes. Do not over knead.
▪ Place your dough in a large bowl coated with oil. Turn dough in the bowl so all sides are coated with oil. Cover and place in a warm, draft free area to rise. Let it rise until double in size for about 1 hour.
