more flour. Knead the dough by hand until it reaches a smooth consistency.
First Fermentation: Cover the dough and let it ferment for 25 minutes in a warm place (around 30°C or 86°F).
Folding the Dough: After 25 minutes, grease your hands and fold the dough inwards to incorporate air. Cover again and let it rest for another 20 minutes.
Second Folding: Grease your hands again and fold the dough once more. After a few minutes of folding, cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour.
Shaping the Dough: After the dough has fermented, sprinkle flour on a clean work surface and pour the dough onto it. Form the dough into a ball.
Dividing the Dough: Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. From each piece, form a ball and let them rest for 7 to 10 minutes.
Prepare for Baking: Sprinkle flour on top of each ball and gently press to expand the dough. Sprinkle cornmeal onto parchment paper and place the dough on top.
Final Preparation: Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dough in the tray.
Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and bake the bread for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool slightly, then enjoy it warm, soft, and delicious!
