The dough will still be quite sticky. Place the dough onto a heavily floured surface and with floured hands, work in more flour with your hands until the dough is no longer sticky.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours but it's best to leave in refrigerator overnight.
