Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape & Bake: Use the dough for your desired recipe (see ideas below).
