  • Activating the yeast with properly warm water
  • First rise (15‑20 min)
  • Second rise (40‑50 min)
  • Shaping the dough without deflating too much
  • Baking at two temperatures (200°C then 180°C)

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Do not use water hotter than 45°C when activating yeast, as it can kill the yeast.
