- ✓Use water heated to 100-110°F when mixing the dough because this temperature activates gluten formation without killing any residual yeast activity in the flour.ingredient100-110°F
- ✓Rest the shaped dough balls for 10-15 minutes before cooking to allow gluten to relax, making them easier to flatten and preventing shrinkage in the pan.timing10-15 minutes
