- Create a hole in the middle of the flour and gradually add the liquid until you have a dough.
- Tip the dough onto a floured chopping board. Knead for a few minutes until the dough is springy.
- Transfer back to the bowl and cover with a damp cloth for about an hr. The dough should have doubled in size.
