Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, pour the flour and sugar and mix with a tablespoon.
Add the dry baker’s yeast and mix again to combine the ingredients evenly.
Step 2: Add Water and Knead the Dough
Pour in the lukewarm water, a little at a time, and start kneading with your hands.
Add the salt once the dough starts coming together.
Continue to add water and knead until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is manageable.
Step 3: Knead and Let Rise
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until you get a smooth and homogeneous bun.
Place the bun in a bowl, brush it with a little oil, and cover with cling film.
Let it rise for an hour and a half in the oven turned off with the light on.
Step 4: Shape the Dough
After an hour and a half, remove the dough from the bowl and place it back on the work surface.
Knead it gently, folding the edges towards the center until you get a large disc.
Step 5: Second Rise
