- The dough should be a consistency that doesn’t stick to the hands nor the bowl.
- Leave the dough for about 5 to 10 minutes so that it settles and rises.

- Make the dough in the shape of small balls.
- Add some of the dry flour so that the dough won’t stick to the board.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a circle, not very thin not very thick but medium thick. Make sure to make a real circle.
- If you don’t get a circle shape, use a plate on the dough and cut around the plate. Then the circle will be very nice.
- Take a knife, cut the circle in the middle, so there are two semi-circles.
