Directions
- Mix the ingredients for the dough together, in the order specified, and let the mixture rest in a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight.
- We prepared the dough the night before. ≈ 3 min
- Add 350 ml of water to the dough and gently mix with a spatula. ≈ 3 min
- First, add half of the flour and mix. ≈ 3 min
- Next, we add the remaining flour and salt, and mix thoroughly with a spatula. ≈ 3 min
- We place the rolling pin back on the work surface, so that the dough falls onto the surface. ≈ 3 min
- Spread the dough, let it rise, and then place it in the center. ≈ 4 min
- We offer a slight endorsement. ≈ 3 min
- We repeat this process several times until the flour is completely gone. ≈ 3 min
- After 15 minutes, we return the rolled-out dough to the baking sheet so it can rest slightly.
- 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
- We repeat this procedure several times. ≈ 3 min
- Let the dough rest in a bowl for 30 minutes.
- 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
- Next, each piece is formed into a ball. ≈ 10 min
- 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
- Next, the plastic film pockets are covered.
- Once the dough has rested sufficiently, it is ready to be rolled out.
