Add 3 c. (750 mL) of the flour; stir to mix well. (Dough should be fairly stiff; if not, add more flour.) Turn out onto floured surface; knead in remaining flour. (Dough will be very stiff.) Form into 15 1/2 in. (40 cm) tube.
Cut into 15 slices.
Pat to make circles about 6 in. (15 cm) in diameter.
Lay on lightly greased baking pans; cover.
Allow to rise until almost doubled, about 1 1/2-2 hours.
Bake 475°F (245°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown, puffed, and hollow.
These freeze well.
