Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You may add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

First Rise
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Dough Balls
