6. Leave to rest for 2 h
7. After resting, press and stretch it on the worktop to knock out a little air and shape into a ball.
8. Let the ball rest for 30 min while you preheat the oven.
9. Cut a cross in the middle to show where it should open and put it in the oven with a tray of water underneath to create steam.
