You add approximately one litre of flour or perhaps more, but you actually should add it in steps feeling that it's not too sticky. Preferably too little than too much flour is the trick.

Step 9 of 14
Take an egg-sized piece of dough and flatten it out with your fingers on a floured work space. Let kids join in to do this if you have any around; they will enjoy both making and eating.
