  5. Knead the dough well, it should be soft and smooth, don’t add too much flour and make it into a hard dough.
  6. Place the dough in a bowl greased with oil and cover the dough with a damp towel , keep aside in a warm place for 1 hour.
  7. Or you could- preheat the oven at the lowest temperature for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and place the dough in the oven, this will speed up the leavening.

  11. Combine the dough well and let it sit for a few minutes.
