Cover with a damp towel. Let it proof for 30 minutes.
***After 30 minutes
Place the dough on a floured surface.
Dust with more flour and roll into a log.
Divide into 5 equal parts.

Roll them into balls.
Place them in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Cover with a damp towel and let it proof for 1 hour.
