  • Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture.
  • Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at medium speed.
  • By hand, stir in 1 3/4 to 2 cups flour to form a stiff dough.
  • On floured surface, knead in 1/4 to 3/4 cup of flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

  • Heat over to 375F Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown.
