Make Filou dough yourself

1. First set the dough here. For this you use the flour, the olive oil, the salt and the water and mix into a batter in a large bowl.
2. Knead the dough well by hand. It is best to do this on a large, smooth surface, such as the kitchen table.
3. Knead longer rather than too short and make sure that the dough is firm. If this is not the case, you can give in flour. Wheat flour is best. If the batter becomes too crumbly or firm, add a little more water.
4. Shape a dough ball and let the Filou dough rest for approx. Rest for 20 minutes. The Filou dough should rest in a warm place, maybe on a heater or in a slightly warm oven.
