Tips and Curiosities

• Can you bake in a convection oven?

You can try, generally yes. It is recommended to lower the temperature by 20°F and bake for about 10 minutes less.

• Can it be made in one single shape?

Certainly, the baking will change, so attention must be paid to the timing.

• Why use semolina flour for the surface?

Because it is not absorbed by the dough, whereas using all-purpose flour would result in excessive hardening of the same dough.
