Step 2
Prepare the dough using the method most convenient for you. I used a bread machine. Load the ingredients into the bucket in the order specified in the instructions. Select the “Dough” function, time 1 hour 05 min. After the process is complete, let the dough rest for another 30 minutes in the closed bread machine. If you are using the manual method, then dissolve the salt, sugar and yeast in warm water, add the flour and 20 ml of oil in portions. Knead the dough. Cover with a towel and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes. Then give it a punch‑down.
