14. Take the last c. of flour and sprinkle over a clean, dry work surface and flour your hands well.
15. Take the dough from the bowl and begin to work in the additional flour a little at a time.
16. Use the heel of your hand to knead the dough and push across the work surface, clenching the dough with your fist and twisting it over.
17. Use a dough scraper to help gather any wet dough which sticks to the surface while you are kneading.
18. Also only add in as much flour as it takes to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.

20. If the dough comes up clean, it"s ready.
21. If it sticks you will have to knead it a bit more.

27. Keep in a hot place, and let the dough rise for 30 to 45 min.
28. When dough doubles in size, remove from bowl and punch it down with your fist to deflate, then knead it again for about a minute.
