Secondly, thanks to all my lovely friends and readers who had been missing my blogs. I have recieved many messages and requests for various recipe.

Knead the dough constantly to make ot smooth. You can remove the dough from the container and keep it on a clean surface and knead it.

After 25 mins, take out the dough on a clean surface and cut it into 8 equal size with a smooth knife.
