Tips
- Always recommend using digital scales for accuracy for flour.
- Start with 390ml water. Add in more water if needed to achieve similar consistency to my dough. If your dough is too dry, slowly add more water until it looks like mine! Every bread flour absorbs different levels of water.
- You can use a larger tray if you want it thinner/crispier.
- Bake on the lowest rack to help the bottom of the bread to crisp up.
