  • Prepare baking pans with parchment paper or greasing. Pour oil into the center of each pan.
  • Deflate the dough and turn it into rough balls. Place them in the prepared pans and let rest for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Optionally sprinkle rosemary and pour oil over the dough. Dimple the dough and sprinkle with sea salt.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for later use.

Notes

For best results, use a digital scale for measuring flour and water. Adjust the salt according to dietary needs and use proper greasing methods to prevent sticking.
