Place the dough on a baking sheet between sheets of parchment. You can choose the right parchment paper by reading a separate article about the features of parchment, the link is at the end of the recipe. Place a weight on top to prevent the dough from rising too much during baking. I place the baking sheets one on top of the other, and they serve as a load.
