Tips & Tricks

• The milk and olive oil are known as dough enrichments, these help to make the dough softer and more delicious once cooked, but they could be left out completely and just water could be used for a more simple dough.
• When kneading, the dough will seem too sticky don’t be tempted to add heaps more flour because its sticking.  Try to keep the dough moving and knead through to develop the gluten, in turn the dough will become less sticky during this process.

• Rest the dough for around of 30 minutes, this helps with the rolling and the texture of the final bread.
• When rolling turn the dough one 6th at a time, if you do quarters then you will end up with a square shape.
• Have your grill, skillet, pan on a medium to high heat, this dough burns easily because of the enrichments.
