- Roll the dough into balls making sure that the surface is smooth and tight.
- Let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth so the surface does not dry out.
- Place your palm on the dough, gradually push it down from the top to flatten it into round shapes that are around 1 cm thick.
- Push down on the dough by moving your palm in a clockwise circular motion.
- This will help make nice, evenly round shapes.
- Once the dough resembles the shapes in the photo, allow it to rise again in a warm place (20 minutes).
