After placing the dough on a floured work surface, knead the dough again slightly and divide it into small pieces giving it the oval shape of about 7/8 cm in length and 5 cm in width.

Lightly sprinkle them with flour, line the oven plate with paper and distribute the well-spaced baps between them, since during cooking they will tend to increase in volume.

Leave to rise for another 20 minutes in a warm environment.

Before transferring them to the oven, press them lightly in the center with a finger and cook them in the oven, already hot, for 15-20 minutes, or until they have taken color.
