Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth
Leave to prove for 3 hours - fold over once at 45 minutes, again after an hour and a half and once more after 2 hours and 10 minutes
Preheat the oven to 220° Celsius and if you have a baking stone, place it in the oven
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and turn out the dough

Without knocking back the dough, stretch each piece to fit onto a rectangular baking sheet
Place the dough onto your baking sheet making sure it fits into the corners
