- Remove the lid, scrape the dough off the container sides with spatula;
- Put the lid on and continue Pulsing for another 30 times until a ball of dough forms. After the ball has been formed, continue Pulsing for 10-15 seconds to lift the dough off the blades;
- Remove the dough with floured hands and form a round ball. Place dough in a greased bowl and turn to grease on all sides of the dough. Let the dough rise for 10 minutes;
