Ingredients
- 3 cups flour , sifted
- 1 cup warm water (at 95 F / 36˚C)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Equipment
- 1 water spray bottle (with lukewarm water)
- Stand mixer
Instructions
- Add the flour into the bowl of a stand mixer and make a well in its center.
- Add the salt into the center of the well and start kneading at medium speed, gradually incorporating the water.
- Kneading must be very fast and the dough must be soft and homogeneous.
- The dough must come off the edges of the bowl.
- Leave the dough in the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Let it rest in a warm place away from drafts for 30 minutes.
- Finely spread the dough on a lightly floured work surface and fold it in 4, by folding the sides inwards. Let it rest again for 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free place.
- Repeat this process 4 times in total with 4 rest periods in order to make the dough very elastic.
- Preheat the oven to 430 F (220˚C) for 30 minutes (if oven baking is chosen)
- Divide the dough into 3 or 4 dough pieces and roll them up.
- Roll out the dough very thinly, to about 1/16 inch (1,5 mm) thick. Give it a square, rectangular, round, or oval shape of your choice.
