Step 6
When the mixture becomes more or less homogeneous, turn it out onto a floured surface and begin kneading the dough by hand. Gradually add the flour from the fifth glass until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The dough should be fairly firm and elastic. To check whether you have kneaded the dough sufficiently, shape it into a ball and place it on the table; if it holds its shape, the right consistency has been achieved.
