Step 6
Knead the dough, and while kneading add vegetable oil; you need to knead for a long time, 7–10 minutes. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, what is called “to clean hands,” i.e., the dough stops sticking to the hands. Place the dough in a bowl that can be lightly greased with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours.
