By hand stir in 2½ to 3 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.

On floured surface knead in ½ to 1 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic with blisters under surface, about 10 minutes .

Punch down dough, divide in 2 parts, then mold into balls.

Allow to rest on counter, covered with inverted bowl, 15 minutes.

Divide dough in 14 equal pieces and shape into balls.

On lightly floured surface, roll each ball into 7-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick.

Place circles about 2 inches apart on cornmeal-sprinkled baking sheets.

Cover and let rise in warm place about 30 minutes.
