Stir in enough remaining all purpose flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and divide in 1/2.
