INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Pour 225 g of lukewarm water into the stand mixer bowl and add the other ingredients. Mix and slowly knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Turn the prepared dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 2 parts, and form into balls. Lightly dust them with flour, cover with a clean cloth to prevent drying, and let rest for 30–45 minutes.

  After resting, roll out the balls with a rolling pin into an oval shape. Turn the oval with the longer side towards you, fold the dough, press down, and roll into a cylinder. Tuck the ends of the cylinder inwards with your finger. Shape into an even cylinder with your hands. Place the cylinders on a baking sheet and let rise for 40 minutes.
