## Tips

- To achieve more flavor, reduce yeast to 1 tsp, place dough in an airtight container, and leave in the fridge overnight.
- Bake on a pizza steel or stone in an oven preheated to 250C.
- Heat a tray in the bottom of the oven.
- When placing bread in the oven, cover with a cold tray on top and pour a glass of water onto the hot tray at the bottom for steam.
- Remove the tray from the bottom of the oven after 20 minutes of baking to allow excess steam to escape and for the bread to color.
