Mallorca Coca Dough

Directions

1. 1
   Place the beer, olive oil, egg, salt and 2/3 cup water in a large bowl and whisk to mix. Add 2 3/4 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Knead the dough briefly in the bowl to incorporate all the stray flour.
2. 2
   Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, kneading in enough of the remaining 1/2 cup flour for the dough not to stick to your hands. (If the dough sticks after all the remaining flour has been incorporated, oil your hands and continue kneading.).
3. 3
   The dough will be pliable and slightly oily. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a well-oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let stand while you prepare the coca filling.
