  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm place
  • Dip your hands in water to avoid the dough sticking, then stretch and fold each corner towards the center
  • Let it rest for another 30 minutes
  • Repeat the stretch and fold once more and let it rest for another 30 minutes
  • Transfer to an oiled tray, gently stretch into shape, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with rosemary and salt, then bake until golden brown!
