Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 17.6 oz
Water - 12 fl oz
Salt - to taste
Coarse Cornmeal - 1 tablespoon
Dry yeast - 0.4 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rub the yeast into the flour until a uniform crumb forms. Add salt, then water. Knead the dough for 2 - 3 minutes until it starts to come together into a ball. Let it rest for 1 hour.

Step 2

Place the dough on a surface and flatten it with your palms into a rectangle. Moisten the surface with water and sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll the dough lengthwise and seal the edge with water.

Step 3

Lay out a towel and generously sprinkle it with flour. Place the dough seam side down and sprinkle with flour. Cover with another towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Cut the dough crosswise into strips 3 cm wide. Place the strips on a baking sheet on their side and gently open them like donuts. The hole should be narrow.
