Hand Mixing

Use a large rubber spatula to mix the liquid into the dry ingredients. Mix until all the flour has been moistened and a dough is beginning to form, though it will look very rough and uneven.

Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and use a bench scraper to repeatedly fold the dough over on itself. It should start to look smoother and become slightly elastic.

To knead the dough, fold the dough in half toward you, folding the far end over to the middle. Use the heels of your hands to press the dough away from you. Turn the dough so that it is perpendicular to its original position and repeat the folding and pushing. If the dough is sticky, lightly flour the work surface and your hands, but avoid adding flour to the dough. Continue for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
