Taking the 1/2 cup measuring cup, Jasmine filled it with flour. She began to slowly pour the flour into the mixture that Cris was stirring. "OK Cris, keep stirring. When it looks pretty well blended, I'll add the next 1/2 cup of flour."
As Cris continued to stir, Jasmine continued to add flour 1/2 cup at a time. Glancing at her notes, she told Cris, "It says to keep adding flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and no longer sticks to your fingers." "Keep stirring for now and we'll keep an eye on the dough." Things were looking good so far and Jasmine hoped that they would be able to pull this off.
"
and we're stirring...we're stirring," Cris softly chanted as he stirred the mixture while Jasmine added first the 1/2 cupful of flour and then stirred some more while she added more.
As he continued to stir, he realized that unlike the beginning where it was easy to stir the dough around with his wooden spoon around and around inside the mixing bowl, it was now getting harder to do that, with every additional cupful of flour Jasmine added. The doughy texture was getting thicker and beginning to pull away from the sides.
"
Um...Jasmine you mentioned about stirring until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl? Well I think it's doing that now," Cris raised up his wooden spoon to show her. "
See it won't even stick to my fingers," Cris demonstrated as he wiped a clean finger along the inside of the bowl and tried scooping up a piece of the dough.
"
I think it's time to spray that other bowl with cooking spray and pop the dough into that one," Cris suggested as he placed the bowl he was holding down on the worktable and reached out to pick up the can of cooking spray and began spraying the second bowl liberally with cooking spray.
"
Would you like to do the honors?" Cris asked as he handed the bowl full of dough, over to Jasmine.
