Recipe's preparation

To make the dough

1. Add 90g of the warm water to the TM bowl, along with the sugar and yeast.

2. Combine this for 2 minutes at 37 degrees speed 1.

3. Add the remaining 135g of water, salt, olive oil and flour.

4. Knead this on dough function for 2 minutes.

5. You can remove the dough to an oiled bowl or just leave the dough in the warm TM bowl (which I do) to prove for 1 hour.

6. Once proved, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch it down and then roll out into a snake shape, measuring 20-30cm in length.

7. Divide the dough evenly into 8 equal portions and roll these into balls.

8. Use a rolling pin to roll the balls out into a disc shape, measuring approximately 10-18cm across (They do not have to be perfectly round!)

9. Cover with tea towels and leave to prove for 30 minutes.

10. While you are waiting, preheat your oven to 260 degrees.

11. Once your dough has proved, place two discs of dough into a cooling rack and place into the hot oven.

12. Set a timer for 4 minutes. They will puff up and get golden around the edges.

14. Once cooked, take them out of the oven, place onto the bench and cover them with a damp tea towel to moisten a little.

15. Repeat with remaining dough.

16. Store them in a plastic bag in the fridge or freezer.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
