Préparation

  1. In a bowl, mix ½ cup lukewarm water and 1 tbsp. teaspoon of sugar. Mix to dissolve the sugar. Add the traditional yeast packets. Leave to rest for 15 mins.

  4. Gradually add 1 cup (250ml) of flour at a time to the lukewarm water mixture, stirring with a whisk.
  5. Toward the end of adding the 12 cups, knead the dough until it is almost no longer sticky. Add a little all-purpose flour if needed.
  6. Oil the bottom and around the bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Knead lightly again in the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and a dry cloth. Leave to rise for about 2 hours.
  8. Roll out the dough. Separate the dough into portions to put in oiled molds, calculating two balls per mold. Cover with a damp cloth and a dry cloth. Leave to rise for 2 hours.
