* Increase to medium speed and continue kneading until the dough comes together
and is moist, not dry.
* Knead for 10-12 minutes in the mixer (or 15 minutes by hand)
* Lightly oil your hands, remove the dough, and form into a smooth ball.

bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let the dough proof for about 1.5 hours,
or until doubled in size.

to drain excess oil

5. Fill and Finish:
