Step 3
Gradually add the sifted flour and knead the dough. Add the salt at the very end. Knead the dough for 7–9 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic. Initially, it may stick slightly to your hands, but it will stop during the kneading process. Grease a bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough inside, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 90 minutes. I use a multicooker: I set it to the "Multicook" mode (35 degrees for 15 minutes with the lid closed).
