步骤 Method
 

  1. Mix all the flour and water until no dry flour remains.

  6. Add salt and oil, mixing them thoroughly into the dough.
  7. Round the dough again and rest for 30 minutes.
  8. Perform 4 sets of coil folds.
  9. After the 4th set, cover and refrigerate for 12–24 hours to cold ferment.
  10. The next day, place the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brushed with oil.
  11. In a small bowl, mix bell peppers, raw garlic, water, and olive oil until the liquids are emulsified.
  12. Drizzle a little of this mixture over the dough and shape it.
  13. Dimple the dough, then add the toppings.
  14. Pour the remaining emulsion over, then sprinkle with sea salt.
  15. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C for 20–22 minutes (for Tjean ovens, refer to the temperature and time provided above).

小贴士 Tips

During the 2 hours of coil folds, you can occasionally place the dough in the fridge for about 10 minutes, then take it out again, helping the dough to proof at a lower temperature.
