into the liquid mixture. Continue until dough becomes sticky and
difficult to work with the fork. Knead by hand to make a rough-looking
dough. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Knead dough until most of the flour
is used and dough is smooth and elastic, about 10
minutes. Divide dough into 3 or 4 balls and place balls in a plastic
bag; set aside to rest 30 minutes before rolling by hand. Roll out 1
ball at a time to desired thickness and cut into desired shape and
width.
