Kneading Dry Dough by Hand

Push the dough away from you while smearing it over the work surface. You can switch hands, alternating left to right.

Pull the dough back toward yourself.

Fold the end of the dough farthest from you back over to the center of the dough.

Press the other end of the dough into the center.

Give the dough a quarter turn and continue in the same way.

The dough is properly kneaded when a thin ridge, pinched along one side of the dough, stays in place or when you can stretch it to make a translucent window.
