Hi,
I’m trying this for the first time and I’m having a really really hard time getting all the flour mixed in. The dough ball isn’t even sticking to itself as I knead it. Help!

If the dough is to dry, add warm milk a little at a time, and you need to knead it to mix in everything properly. The end result should an elastic and sticky dough.

Thank you Eddy. I only landed up using 10 cups of flour because the dough was really dry and hard. I added a little milk as you suggested to the mix I had so time will tell how it turns out.
