- Let the dough stand covered with a cloth for half an hour at room temperature.
- Heat the oil, put the dough on a pastry board and separate the dough into pieces of about 1 ounce each, make rolls with your hands lightly floured, cross them at the ends and continue until the dough is finished.

I’m confused first set directions is to beat the wet ingredients in a bowl. Then it says KNEAD AGAIN ???
Then slowely add flower and keep kneading until it’s fully incorporated ?? Sounds like it show say BEAT again and not KNEAD ?
