Notes
While you can hand mix the dough, a mixer with a dough hook can speed up the process. A speed of 2 on a Kitchen Aid works well and when the dough pulls off the side and clings to the hook, it's finished. The dough will be sticky, so you'll want to have flour on hand for the board. A good thickness to shoot for is a pie crust.
