Directions

  1. Mix the ingredients for the dough together, in the order specified, and let the mixture rest in a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight.
  2. We prepared the dough the night before. ≈ 3 min
  3. Add 350 ml of water to the dough and gently mix with a spatula. ≈ 3 min
  4. First, add half of the flour and mix. ≈ 3 min
  5. Next, we add the remaining flour and salt, and mix thoroughly with a spatula. ≈ 3 min
  6. We place the rolling pin back on the work surface, so that the dough falls onto the surface. ≈ 3 min
  7. Spread the dough, let it rise, and then place it in the center. ≈ 4 min
  8. We offer a slight endorsement. ≈ 3 min
  9. We repeat this process several times until the flour is completely gone. ≈ 3 min
  10. After 15 minutes, we return the rolled-out dough to the baking sheet so it can rest slightly.
  11. Rub your hands with olive oil, then gently lift the dough from the center to redistribute it, and place the dough back on the board or countertop. ≈ 4 min
  12. We repeat this procedure several times. ≈ 3 min
  13. Let the dough rest in a bowl for 30 minutes.
  14. We place the dough back on the work surface or a cutting board, and divide it into 5 pieces by hand, using hands that have been previously dipped in oil paint. ≈ 3 min
  15. Next, each piece is formed into a ball. ≈ 10 min
  16. We place each ball in a pastry bag, then line the bottom of the bag with parchment paper, and finally place the bag on a griddle. ≈ 3 min
  17. Next, the plastic film pockets are covered.
  18. Once the dough has rested sufficiently, it is ready to be rolled out.
