Using your fingers like a rake.
- Using your fingers like a rake and not touching the dough with your palms, add water slowly while mixing while staying always on
the dry side. Do not knead or press, mix only. Proceed until all flour is absorbed into the dough.
- Take the mass out of the pot
- Using the tin as a pad, 8 times flatten to about 5 cm (2 in) and fold.
- Using the tin as a pad, flatten out to thickness of 0.8 in (2 cm)

- Lift each half and cover the baking tin underneath with a thin layer of butter or other of those greasy stuffs. If you do
this earlier, the bread may be stuck to the tin after baking.
