05Add about 1 1/2 cup of flour, 1 egg, and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
06Mix by hand until the ingredients are combined.

07Add more flour, as needed, until the mixture becomes a soft dough consistency.

08Flour a flat working surface, transfer the dough to the surface, and knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable.
