First rise

Remove the dough from the Thermomix®, shape it into a ball and place it in a previously greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 60 minutes or until it doubles in volume.

Shape the bread

Flour a table with whole wheat flour or wheat bran. Place the dough on top, press lightly with your hands, turn it over so that the other side is also covered with flour, and begin to carefully stretch it with a rolling pin until it is approximately one finger thick. Place the dough on a previously greased baking sheet.

Second rise

Prick the surface of the dough with a fork or skewer. Cover with a damp cloth or film. Let stand again in a warm place until it doubles in volume, approximately 45 minutes.
