You pummel the dough with your fist, then fold it over and punch it again (not too hard, no need to break any knuckles!). Keep doing this for however long it says in the recipe. It may hurt your hands, but try to do it quickly and work up a rhythm to make it easier. Kneading locks in the air to make dough rise. When the dough is heated in the oven, the air expans and the dough rises.
To mix and work into a uniform mass, as by folding, pressing, and stretching with the hands
