5. Keep adding more of the flour until the mixture is difficult to mix with the fork. Begin to knead the mixture with your hands.
6. Knead dough for 6-8 minutes, and then let the dough rest, covered, for at least 30 minutes in a refrigerator.
7. Sprinkle a clean surface with flour, and divide your dough in 4-6 equal portions.
