Ingredients

  1. flour - 1,200 g (additional to adjust dough hydration)
  2. water - 1 L (to adjust dough consistency)
  3. salt - 35 g (to strengthen gluten structure)
  4. dry yeast or fresh yeast - 10 g (if the dough is old and the gluten structure is broken, optional)

Instructions

  1. Adjusting Sticky Dough: Add the necessary amount of flour to the mixer to adjust the hydration level of the dough to the desired consistency.
  2. Integrating Ingredients: Mix at speed number one until the flour is fully integrated into the old dough before adding water.
  3. Adding Water: Gradually add water to the dough mixture, ensuring it is absorbed completely.
  4. For Hard Dough: Add the remaining or extra water to adjust the dough's consistency.
  5. For Old Dough: In the added water, mix in 10g of dry or fresh yeast and increase salt by 2% to revive the dough.
  6. Final Dough Preparation: After mixing, test the dough's gluten structure for strength and non-stickiness. Form the dough into a ball, apply a light coat of olive oil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shaping into balls.
  7. Resting the Dough Balls: Place the dough balls in a box and let them rest for about 4 hours at room temperature.
