3. Slowly drizzle in the oil, then increase to medium speed (2nd speed) and mix for 2 more minutes.

4. Add the salt and continue mixing for 1 minute.

5. Stop the mixer and switch to the dough hook attachment.

6. Continue mixing on medium speed (2nd speed) for 4–5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth.

7. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface. Lightly brush the top with oil using a pastry brush, then cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

8. Divide the dough into 300g portions and shape each into a tight dough ball.

9. Place the dough balls into lightly oiled, resealable containers and let them rise at room temperature for 90 minutes to 2 hours, or until they have doubled in size.

10. Once risen, the dough is ready for stretching and use.
