## Equipment

- bowl
- whisk
- baking tray
- parchment paper
- oven
- cooling rack

## Tips

- Your dough may be wetter/stickier than mine, that’s because I use a very high protein bread flour (14%) and all bread flour absorbs water differently. Don’t worry if it’s wetter, it will be trickier to handle but should bake up just fine.
- If you want to use all-purpose flour, reduce water by 40ml, mix the dough and add some of the reserved water back in if you think the dough needs it.
- Bake on the lowest rack in the oven.
