Instructions

Heat the oven to 175°. Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Pour in the water and stir until the yeast dissolves.

Step 3

Place the dough on the floured countertop and continue kneading. Roll the dough from the lightly floured countertop till about 30x35 cm in size.

Step 4

Step 5

Move the dough onto a sheet of baking paper. Place the dough with the baking paper on a bakingtray, about 30x35 cm in size. Let rest covered for about 1 hour.

Step 6
