rectangular shape with a constant thickness.
The dough was not properly prepared. Make sure you
follow the recipes.
Knead the dough into a ball again and leave it to rest for 10
minutes. Then start shaping the dough from the beginning.
Knead the dough in two stages, with a 5-minute break in
between.
Put some flour on your hands, but NOT on the dough or
the work surface. Then continue to knead the dough. Put
some more flour on your hands and continue until the
dough is less sticky.
