Prepare to proof, in baking (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

knead

(Other definitions for knead that I've seen before include "Massage with hands" , "Pummel dough" , "Work flour into dough manually" , "Work (dough) into mass" , "Work (dough/clay)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
