Once the mix gets stodgy and doughy, you can turn it out onto a floured table. This mass
will still be pretty stick, and it will take some additional flour and elbow grease to make it
smooth.
Begin to work the dough by poking at it with your finger tips and folding it over itself.
Add flour until it stops sticking to the table and your hands. The dough will get smooth
and soft after just a couple minutes.
Once your dough has come together, you can begin to round it out. You want smooth
dough that won’t stick to your rolling pin or whatever else you use to shape your hardtack.
The picture below shows our dough ready for the next steps.
